CFA responded to a fire on a solar farm in Raywood, outside Bendigo at about 5.50pm on Thursday 20 February.
Ten CFA units from Bridgewater, Campbells Forest, Eaglehawk, Golden Square, Raywood and Woodvale attended the scene.
FRV, VicPol and Powercor were also on scene.
A transformer caught fire on a moderately sized commercial solar farm and crews used foam to extinguish it.
A warning was put out to the Raywood community because of the black toxic smoke drifting over the township.
Access was difficult for crews because of the density of the smoke.
The scene was under control at about 8.30pm. Energy Safe Victoria is investigating the cause.
