Land optimisation is essential for large-scale development. This 10 MW solar farm occupies just 7 hectares using 5B Maverick solar technology.
IGO Ltd. unlocks the power of renewables on its Nova Operation in collaboration with Zenith Energy and 5B.
As large energy consumers, miners play a vital role in delivering on our commitments to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. “At IGO, we believe in a clean energy future. We have a target to be net zero by 2035,” says Chris Carr, Acting Chief Operating Officer of IGO Limited.
5B has developed a solar solution tailored to overcome the significant challenges that remote mine operators face in decarbonising their operations.
The 5B Maverick is an Australian designed, prefabricated and modular, high density solar solution that is safer, lower cost and faster to deploy for remote mining and industrial power applications.
The 5B Maverick has a transformative impact on integrating renewable energy, with unique benefits including:
- Cost advantage
- Reduce waste
- Cut freight and logistics costs
- Significant capital recovery
- Breakaway from traditional solar farm layouts
- Less sensitive to geotechnical aspects
- Infinitely scalable
"5B has been a true partner with us, working on how we improve performance through deployment and operation of the system."
