Remote, off-grid mining solution on a waste rock dump
Challenge
Northern Star Resources underground mining operation requires more energy generation, but faces land constraints.
Solution
The deployment of 5B's low ground penetrating technology on the Jundee waste rock dump allows Northern Star to repurpose it's waste facilities and idle land for productive solar power generation.
“The 5B units low ground penetration technology, small footprint and high power density design enabled us to make use of our existing waste rock dump, which opens up a traditionally underutilised land
resource for us to install clean renewable power stations on.”

The energy density of the 5B Maverick can deliver giga-scale solar farms on pre-disturbed land - and has already been deployed on coal ash sites, tailings dams, and landfills.
