SolarQ, a newly formed solar development company is planning to build Australia’s biggest 350 Megawatt Solar farm in Queensland. The highly ambitious projects will include a capacity of 350 MW in the first stage and a potential 800MW over several stages with a huge amount of battery storage (Upton 4000MWh). According to Scott Armstrong of SolarQ, “If you asked me three months ago about battery storage, I would have said it was three-to-five years away, but the prices are falling so significantly and so quickly, that it now one year away.” In the already crowded solar energy market, SolarQ aims to build a solar-storage peaking plant. “There are significant economies of scale. We believe the market will come and gobble up the project. The energy will be consumers within 100kms of the project development. It is not a fringe development. We will better anything on the market from pricing point of view. It’s really quite exciting,” Armstrong added.
