Australia is slowly getting solar panels on a scale that can match its seriously vast quantities of sunlight.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, two new solar plants officially opened in the New South Wales towns of Nyngan and Broken Hill. According to the project’s owner, AGL Energy, they will generate enough power to serve more than 50,000 homes.<\/p>\n

The two plants cover more than 375 hectares (927 acres) in total, making them the largest in Australia and potentially the Southern Hemisphere. Built by First Solar, the utility\u2010scale solar plants have a total capacity of 155 megawatts<\/p>\n
