Mugga Lane Solar Park
Client: Maoneng Australia
Brief:
Maoneng Australia is the owner and developer of an exciting new solar park called Mugga Lane in the ACT, just 10km from Parliament House, Canberra. The enormous 40-hectare site was producing electricity from the end of 2016.
The client required 4 to 5 sets of aerial panoramic shots at short notice ahead of an official launch in February 2017, to be stitched together externally for a Chinese audience (including investors) on a Chinese 360º panorama site.
Challenges:
There was another commercial drone in operation at the solar park when we arrived with the client. We knew this in advance. It was being used for IR (Infra-Red) thermal imaging to spot potentially defective panels. This prevented us from working in half of the solar park for a few hours but allowed us to shoot video footage for the client.
Deliverables:
We delivered 6 sets of RAW images to the client. Each set contained 26 individual photographs. We selected two of the sets (shot from above each of the two distinct fields seen below) and created panoramas which we loaded on to Google Maps to assist the client's marketing endeavours.
The 360º panorama below is 'live' and searchable on google maps (where they are known as 'photo spheres'). Drag it to rotate and zoom with a middle mouse wheel or use the +/- buttons. The pictures were taken at an altitude of 119 metres above ground level and almost directly above one of the shipping container-sized inverters.
