The Hillston Solar Farm is a 119MWdc utility scale project located near Hillston, in the Riverina region of New South Wales.
The site comprises 265,872 PVH Monoline modules mounted on single-axis tracking systems, forming one of the larger regional solar assets feeding into the National Electricity Market.
Tranex Power was engaged by GRS to deliver a combined piling, tracker installation, and PV module installation package. This integrated scope required precise coordination of driven piling works, mechanical tracker assembly, and systematic module mounting across the expansive array footprint. Seamless staging of works was critical to sustaining productivity while maintaining overall programme alignment across multiple construction fronts.
The project presented elevated logistical and execution challenges due to its scale and installation density. Tranex Power implemented detailed workface planning, rigorous quality assurance protocols, and structured installation controls to ensure installation accuracy, mechanical integrity, and long-term performance outcomes. These efforts were supported by a strong focus on workforce coordination, safe systems of work, and proactive risk mitigation.
Hillston Solar Farm was delivered with a sustained commitment to safety, quality, and schedule. The outcome reinforces Tranex Power’s capability to execute complex, large‑scale installation packages and underscores our position as a reliable delivery partner for significant solar developments across Australia.
Tranex Power successfully delivered the project during COVID-19 despite major supply chain challenges from the project owner, including gaps between equipment arrival and scheduled installation. Demonstrating exceptional flexibility, we worked closely with the client through weekly project meetings to adapt schedules, optimise workflows, and respond to evolving requirements. When design changes occurred mid-construction, Tranex Power quickly pivoted to integrate additional engineering needs without impacting progress. This adaptable, client-focused approach ensured the project remained on track while maintaining quality and efficiency.
