PV Hardware (PVH), a world-leading Solar Tracker Manufacturer, has been pivotal in this transition, offering innovative solutions tailored for the harsh conditions of mining environments. Since establishing a presence in Australia in 2017, PVH has achieved significant milestones, particularly with their latest innovation, the AxoneDuo Infinity tracker. 

PVH’s extensive experience in the mining industry began in South Africa over eight years ago. Leveraging this expertise, PVH has installed more than 2 GW of solar structures across various mining projects. The AxoneDuo Infinity solar tracker, designed to withstand Australia’s extreme climate, ensures high energy output and reliability, making it ideal for mining sites. 

Major Advantage of PVH Trackers for Pilbara, WA region:  

PVH has obtained certification to withstand Wind Region D for the wind conditions in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. The Pilbara region, a crucial supplier of iron ore to China, contributes significantly to Western Australia’s economy, generating millions of dollars annually. This economic activity also creates a substantial energy demand. PVH structures are specifically engineered to endure the frequent cyclones and severe storms characteristic of the Pilbara region, PVH is the only mounting structure manufacturer who has attained the Certification from CPP, to withstand Wind Category A,B, C & D. 
 

Prospects in Australia’s Mining for 2024/25 

PVH is determined to expand its footprint with several upcoming projects in Australia: 

• Frontier Energy, Waroona SW WA: 120 MW solar project, expected by Q3 2024. 

• F I J V, Oakagee Hematite Mine: 45 MW solar installation, anticipated by Q4 2024. 

• Northern Star Goldfields: 40 MW solar plant, projected for Q4 2024. 

• Woodside Energy, Karratha: 100 MW solar project, timeline TBD. 

PVH is set to become the leader in Australia with new projects being signed in Q3-Q4 2024. 

These projects highlight the trend among Australian miners to adopt renewable energy, reducing their carbon footprint and operational costs.
