With growing concern for the environment, Stonnington Council made an exemplary commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 30% below 2005 levels by 2020.

$13,000 saved by each building annually

1.037 tonnes CO2 reduced annually

THE CHALLENGE.

To meet their target, Cherry Energy Solutions was commissioned to install solar PV systems on various Council buildings, a significant step in reducing dependency on non-renewable energy sources.

Council prioritised the use of high quality equipment and service with good value for money. Cherry was chosen for their Tier 1 products, system design optimisation, expert technical knowledge and delivery within set times at affordable prices.

THE SOLUTION.

The final designs included solar PV systems optimised to specific roof requirements and a detailed technical analysis of the sites with a focus on cost versus benefits over time.

In addition, the proposals outlined how the systems would match each premise’s consumption classification and support Council’s sustainability plans.

Every location was provided with different panels ranging from Sunpower, JA and QCells panels as well as Fronius and SolarEdge inverters, all coupled with Solar Analytics monitoring.
