The first guidelines were produced initially in November 2010 and updated in 2013. A final policy was released
Utility-scale solar energy facilities require relatively large areas for solar radiation collection when used to generate electricity at utility-scale (defined for the Solar PEIS as facilities with a generation capacity of 20 MW or greater).
proposed SPV installations or developments.12. If an installation of SPV systems is planned on-aerodrome (i.e. within its licensed boundary) then it is recommended that data on the reflectivity of the solar panel material should be included in any assessm
The environmental impact of PV systems has improved markedly compared to 2015 values, particularly in non-renewable energy payback time. Increased panel efficiency, reducing life cycle environmental impacts. Decreased kerf loss and reduced poly-Si demand, lowering overall impacts.
