These solar panels are at my in-laws house which is about 3km across the farm from where my husband and I live. We have had the same number fitted to the machinery shed near our house. 27 panels each costing around $40k for both systems.
My husband and brother in law made the frame for this set up.
Considering we can regularly get temperatures into the 40's during summer, it makes sense to find some space to install solar panels. The highest temperature we have recorded was 48 degrees, although the postman recorded 50 degrees that same day.
This farm blog is about our family life on a dryland broad acre farm. I hope by writing about our life, friends, relatives and others will gain a greater knowledge of rural life, where their food comes from and the struggle of small rural communities to maintain their facilities and quality of life.
