Trinasolar (PV and smart energy total solution provider) has been chosen to supply solar photovoltaic modules for the Good Earth Green Hydrogen and Ammonia project, known as GEGHA, near Moree in New South Wales, marking the state's first facility of its kind dedicated to green hydrogen and ammonia production.

A Commercial Pilot for Regional Australia

Construction is now underway on the GEGHA project, which has been designed as a commercial pilot for decentralised hydrogen and fertiliser production intended to be replicated across regional Australia.

The facility is expected to produce up to 200 tonnes of green hydrogen annually and up to 4,500 tonnes of low-carbon ammonia upon completion. The project has been specifically designed to replace imported fossil fuel-based fertilisers and support emissions reduction in the agriculture sector.

Joe Cumming, Senior Project Manager at Hiringa Energy, described the significance of reliable solar generation to the project's ambitions. "GEGHA is designed as a commercial pilot for decentralised hydrogen and fertiliser production that could be replicated across regional Australia. For a project intended to demonstrate a long-term regional model, reliable solar generation is critical," Cumming said.

He added that Trinasolar's n-type dual-glass technology and experience in the Australian market were important considerations in the module selection process.

The Solar Farm and Module Technology

The GEGHA project's solar component consists of a 27-megawatt solar farm, which will be powered by Trinasolar's Vertex S+ modules, specifically the NEG18R.28 variant, rated at 510 watts and 515 watts.

The modules incorporate n-type i-TOPCon technology alongside a heat-strengthened dual-glass design. According to Trinasolar, this combination was selected for its durability, weather resistance, and low degradation characteristics over the long term.

The n-type i-TOPCon technology is described by Trinasolar as helping to reduce light-induced degradation, which in turn supports stable energy yield across the project lifecycle.

The company states that by supporting long-term energy generation with low degradation, the modules can contribute to lower lifecycle costs and stronger long-term project economics for the facility.

Industry Perspectives on Solar's Role in Green Hydrogen

Edison Zhou, Head of Australia and New Zealand at Trinasolar, highlighted the broader industrial significance of projects like GEGHA. "Projects like GEGHA demonstrate the important role solar plays in enabling emerging industries such as green hydrogen and low-carbon fertiliser production," Zhou said.

He continued: "By supplying high-performance Vertex S+ modules for the project's solar farm, Trinasolar is helping provide the renewable energy foundation for green hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia production."

The comments reflect a wider industry narrative around solar photovoltaics serving as an enabling technology for sectors beyond electricity generation, particularly in the production of green fuels and agricultural inputs that have historically depended on fossil fuel-derived processes.

Trinasolar's Presence in Australia and Beyond

Trinasolar was founded in 1997 and describes itself as a global leader in smart solar and energy storage solutions. The company delivers photovoltaic modules, energy storage solutions, trackers, and smart energy solutions for utility-scale, commercial and industrial, and residential applications. It currently operates in more than 180 countries and regions worldwide.

The GEGHA project represents one of several recent deployments for Trinasolar across the Asia-Pacific region. The company has also recently supplied more than 55,000 solar modules for the 37-megawatt RASLAG 4 Solar Project in the Philippines, and introduced its Vertex N G3 module to Singapore, which offers power output of up to 760 watts.

Green Ammonia's Agricultural Application

The GEGHA project's intended output of low-carbon ammonia carries direct implications for Australian agriculture. Conventional ammonia used in fertiliser production is typically derived from natural gas through the Haber-Bosch process, making it a significant source of industrial carbon emissions.

The GEGHA facility is designed to provide an alternative to this imported, fossil fuel-based supply, offering regional agricultural operations access to fertiliser with a lower carbon footprint.

The facility's location near Moree, a regional hub in northern New South Wales, positions it within an agricultural area where demand for fertiliser inputs is substantial.

The project's decentralised model, if proven commercially viable, could inform similar developments elsewhere in regional Australia, according to Hiringa Energy's stated intentions for the pilot.

Project Status

As of late July 2026, construction on the GEGHA facility is underway. No completion date was specified in the available project announcements, but the expected production figures of up to 200 tonnes of green hydrogen and up to 4,500 tonnes of low-carbon ammonia annually represent the targets upon which the facility's commercial pilot status will be assessed.
