The hot air generated would be too hot and would melt the glass roof of the greenhouse collection area.

To operate effectively, the chimney would need to be ~1km high

The wind speeds going through the turbine blades would exceed the speed of sound

It has no ability to store heat and be dispatchable

renewable energy plant are favoured by AEMO and are given an "uplift" factor

if a new generator replaces a generator that is far from load centre, there is a reduction in overall transmission losses

transmission losses between the plant and the load centre need to be taken into account

renewable energy plant only connects into the sub-transmission and distribution networks and therefore are not subject to MLF, only DLF.

Because east-west alignment is optimal when the land is sloping towards the north

The alignment of the panels will impact on the glare than the neighbours experience

Fixed axis systems yield less MWh per panel than single axis tracking systems but require less land and are optimal when the land is expensive

100MW PV farms can connect to distribution networks between 11kV and 33 kV

A 66kV transmission line could easily connect a 300MW PV farm

To connect a 15 MW PV farm, between 11kV and 33kV of transmission line is required

Not having environmental overlays

Being remote from residential locations

World class solar resources

Access to transmission or sub-transmission network substation with spare capacity

it reduces electrical losses

it maximises the current

it allows for the current to bypass a cell if it is defective

it makes the module more reliable
