Gannawarra Solar Farm is a photovoltaic solar power station in the Gannawarra Shire, 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) west of Kerang in the Australian state of Victoria. It generates up to 60MWdc electricity[1] and exports up to 50.61MWAC to the National Electricity Market at 66kV.[2]

The Gannawarra Solar Farm was first connected to the grid by Powercor Australia in April 2018. It is 94.9% owned by Wirsol, a brand of Wircon GmbH and 5.1% owned by the developer Edify Energy who will also execute the operations and maintenance contract. It consists of JA Solar modules with ATI DuraTrack mounting system and SMA 2500 SC-EV inverters. It was financed in a single package with the Whitsunday Solar Farm and Hamilton Solar Farm, both in Queensland.[1] The engineering, procurement, and construction was provided by RCR Tomlinson.[3]

The Gannawarra Solar Farm is integrated with an Energy Storage System consisting of a 25MW/50MWh Tesla Powerpack battery.[1] This is also being provided through RCR Tomlinson.[3]
