CIS Director of Energy Research Aidan Morrison says solar panel farms have been leading to grass fires.

“There’s a lot of requirements now and some solar farms in Victoria were shut down because they hadn’t kept the grass very trimmed,” Mr Morrison told Sky News host Steve Price.

“In New South Wales, there’s been a couple of solar farms that have had grass fires go underneath them.”
