At the time of its completion in 2018, it was the largest solar farm in Western Australia.

[1] When APA group bought Emu Downs Wind Farm in June 2011, it realised that there is usually a drop in output in the middle of the day as the wind changes from easterly in the morning to the westerly Fremantle Doctor in the afternoon.

To balance that and achieve better utilisation of transmission infrastructure, APA installed a 20MW solar farm on an adjacent site.

The solar farm's peak output is during the time when the wind farm is not at full capacity, so no additional capacity was needed in the substation or grid connection point.

The output of both the solar and wind farms is contracted to Synergy until 2030.
