Last month, the solar arm of global oil giant BP revealed its newest utility-scale PV project in Australia – a 550MW array with a 260MW/520MWh big battery – will install the panels up around two metres* above ground level to make room for sheep.

The Goulburn River solar farm is proposed for construction by Lightsource bp on private farm land south of the town of Merriwa, and will be designed to accommodate ongoing sheep grazing among the panels.
