Project Name: QLD Government Solar Schools Program Partnership
Client: Downer Edi
What Was Installed: 4MW of solar systems with sizes ranging from 30 kW to 500 kW.
Contract Value:
Location: Various sites in over 36 schools across North Queensland
Introduction:
In response to Queensland’s push for renewable energy adoption in schools, Downer Edi partnered with All Commercial Energy Solutions. Their goal was to incorporate solar energy systems into North Queensland schools. With a reputation for large-scale solar installations, All Commercial Energy Solutions was the perfect collaborator for this ambitious project.
Challenge:
The challenge was significant: install 4MW of solar systems in over 36 North Queensland schools, with sizes ranging from 30 kW to 500 kW. Installations needed to be efficient, timely, and budget-friendly while adhering to safety standards and environmental considerations.
Solution:
All Commercial Energy Solutions used their experience to design a strategy. They aimed to reduce schools’ carbon footprint and energy costs while ensuring safety through meticulous planning and execution.
Implementation:
Implementing the strategy involved several key steps:
Customized Design: Each school’s solar system was tailored. Site assessments determined unique requirements, from available roof space to energy consumption patterns.
Expert Installation: Skilled technicians executed installations, positioning panels strategically and establishing required infrastructure, including inverters and monitoring systems.
Safety Emphasis: Safety remained paramount. Stringent protocols were followed to ensure the well-being of students, staff, and the community.
Efficient Integration: Advanced solar inverters and monitoring systems were integrated for optimal performance and real-time energy monitoring.
Quality Assurance: Rigorous checks were conducted before finalizing each installation, ensuring reliable and enduring solutions.
Timely Completion: All projects were executed within specified time frames, minimizing disruptions.
The result was groundbreaking: a 500 kW solar system at Innisfail State School and a 400 kW installation at Trinity Bay State School.
Results:
Sustainable Impact: Schools reduced carbon footprint and energy costs, supporting broader sustainability goals.
Educational Opportunities: Solar systems served as educational tools, fostering sustainability awareness.
