CASE STUDIES
PERTH ARENA SEES THE LIGHT
UNLTD Solar awarded the contract to supply and install one of the largest ever solar projects undertaken in Western Australia
Western Australian electricity retailer Synergy has awarded UNLTD Solar the contract to design and install a 110kw solar energy system on Perth’s new iconic sports and entertainment complex, The Perth Arena.
The installation is part of The Perth Solar City program and will be one of the largest solar project undertaken in Western Australia, forming a crucial element of the Commonwealth and State Government funded initiative.
The state-of-the-art Perth Arena, a 14,000 seat, multi-purpose indoor venue, has been designed with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
UNLTD Solar Chief Executive Officer, Mr Kieron D’Arcy, said the solar installation was expected to supply enough power to meet the Perth Arena’s base load electricity requirements.“The solar panel array will be an icon of renewable energy in Perth. With high visibility from Perth’s CBD buildings and the Mitchell freeway, more than 50,000 people will see this shining example of renewable energy every day,” Mr D’Arcy said.
MURDOCH UNIVERSITY
Perth's Largest Grid Connect Solar Power System Installed in 2008
UNLTD Solar installed Perth's largest grid connect solar power system at Murdoch University in 2008. This system incorporates a 26kW solar array, a real-time web display of solar generation capacity.
Murdoch University is recognised as a leading renewable energy research and education institute in the southern hemisphere. UNLTD Solar’s partnership with the University demonstrates our ability to meet the most stringent organisational and technical requirements in deploying scalable grid connect systems of any size.
SOUTH FREMANTLE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Total 30kW and growing
In 2007, UNLTD Solar worked closely with South Fremantle Senior High School to create a campaign that enabled the school to take a step towards being Carbon Neutral.
The successful proposal incorporated a school community awareness program involving ongoing joint presentations to the school community. Each 1kW package purchased by the extended school community would contribute towards a free 1kW solar array installed at the school.
In May 2008, Julia Gillard, Deputy Prime Minister unveiled the solar array at the school. This unique and innovative solution has accounted for a total of 30kW of solar power being installed, and was a first for the Australian Solar Industry.
