Solar power

Solar power is booming in popularity all around the world, across all sectors, from household to utility scale, and both on and off the grid. 

Entura has significant renewable energy development experience from pre-feasibility right through to commissioning, optimising operations and asset management of remote area off-grid power systems and utility-scale solar farms.

Our team works with you to overcome potential challenges when developing a solar project, helping to avoid pitfalls and maximising the success of your development. These challenges include bankable yield estimations, grid connection, planning approvals, design, implementation and unlocking project financing.

Partnering with our clients, we have built a strong understanding of solar layout design optimisation, detailed electrical design, power system studies and grid connection issues, storage, as well as the integration of hybrid renewable energy projects. 

We are increasingly called upon for smart integration of hybrid renewable energy generation and storage into new or existing projects. 

Entura has made important contributions to the solar industry in Australia through the development of innovative tools and techniques in solar resource monitoring and assessment such as urban solar resource mapping and large-scale solar atlases of Queensland and Victoria.

Our services include:

  • pre-feasibility and feasibility studies
  • resource monitoring and data collection
  • resource assessments and energy estimates
  • solar technology assessments
  • community consultation
  • planning permits and environmental impact assessments
  • power system studies and grid connection compliance testing
  • solar DC and balance of plant design
  • operational support (performance ratio test)
  • options studies
  • technical due diligence
  • advisory services to prospective investors
  • owner’s engineer services
  • integration with other forms of generation and energy storage.
