Andora Farm

Date

2022

Location

Evandale, TAS

Details

EB Solar undertook an energy audit and assisted Andora Farm with a successful grant application to partly fund a new 30 kW ground mounted solar system. It was connected to a large irrigation pump to offset pumping loads during the irrigation season.

Location

Longford, TAS

Details

EB Solar was engaged to design and manage the installation of an 80kW ground mounted solar system at the World Heritage listed Woolmers Estate in northern Tasmania. Given the historical significance of the site, visual impact minimisation was an important consideration in the siting and layout of the system. EB Solar was involved in engagement with State and Federal authorities to facilitate approval for the project.

System Size

94.72 kW

Location

Prospect, TAS

Details

256x JA Solar 370W panels

ABB PVS-100 inverter

As this facility is a large energy user, this system was designed to maximise the system size give the available roof area, and to consider the unusually large purlin spacing in the roof structure. Consideration was also given to prevent shading from the high roof parapets.

System Size

59.2 kW

Location

Snug, TAS

Details

160x JA Solar 330W panels

2x Fronius ECO 25.0.3-S inverter

As for many other supermarkets, the system design brief was to maximise the system size for the available roof area, given the large underlying facility electricity load. The panels were installed flat on the east roof face and tilted on the south roof face to maximise the system performance.

System Size

320 kW

Location

Bridgewater, TAS

Details

1015 x 315W JA Solar monocrystalline solar panels

3 x ABB PVS100 inverters  

This project involved the design, engineering and installation of a 320 kW solar power system as part of a major upgrade to the site.

The client wanted a solution to offset expected rise in electricity costs associated with the site upgrade. EB Solar designed a system that would offset 60% of the total site usage, providing an associated reduction in the electricity costs. By working with the shed manufacturer we were able to maximise the system size for the available roof area, and maintain the use of skylights to reduce lighting loads.

 

​This is one of Tasmania’s largest rooftop solar systems, and is a credit to the commitment of the business owners to invest in renewable energy to reduce their costs and their associated carbon footprint.
