First Solar (FSLR) announced late last night that they will supply PV solar modules to Solar Shop Australia for a 1MW rooftop project that will be installed on 6 separate buildings at the Adelaide Showground in South Australia.  The project, which is being commissioned by the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia, will represent the largest PV installation in the country. 

“This project marks the beginning of what we expect to be a very promising future for solar energy in Australia,” said First Solar executive John Carrington. “Australia’s policy initiatives have set the stage for the growth of affordable renewable energy, and First Solar’s advanced, cost-effective solar technology is a perfect fit.”
