Western Australia — Out With The Poles, In With The Solar Panels

At that time, only four landowners took up the offer. Now they expect to deliver more than 1000 systems to farmers and remote indigenous communities. As part of the Western Australian government’s Recovery Plan, Horizon Power has received $46 million to provide 150 systems across regional Western Australia. Each system consists of solar panels, battery storage, and a backup diesel generator. Connection to HP’s service hub means that any faults can be diagnosed remotely.

Derby, in the remote Kimberleys, had a $5.2 million solar and battery storage project installed, including a 40kW solar shade over the local pool.

I'd like to know how this computes as population density increases. This kind of information could be the harbinger of the death of the grid over wide swaths of territory.

and may reduce fires caused by power poles, dust and dirt shorting out, etc.

Totally! It’s absurd that more rural counties don’t jump onto the solar power bandwagon. Miles of transmission lines are expensive to maintain!
