Located in Co. Kilkenny, Derrynahinch Solar Farm is being developedd within the townland of Derrynahinch. The site is approximately 1.5km from Ballyhale which lies southwest of the site. The site itself is a working farm of moderate grade agricultural value, with tillage land and improved grassland for the grazing of stock. There are existing tracks on the site to be used for access to areas of the development.
