The site office has a roughly 500W solar photovoltaic system and batteries for on-going power, as well as generators for experiments. This support infrastructure is in place just in advance of the upcoming visit by members of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) project to deploy the first 'tiles' of the instrument.
