The unique roof design of the Kew Recreation Centre and unsecured power prices led City of Boroondara to EnviroGroup to create a sustainable and suitable solution for the council facility.

EnviroGroup installed 97kWp system across a number of roof tops on the centre featuring 365 x PANDA Series modules from Yingli. The system will generate enough power equivalent to taking 45 medium-sized cars off the road, and a $16,000 saving on their annual power bill.

The Mayor of Boroondara, Councillor Coral Ross said “this is by far the largest solar project we have undertaken – embracing solar energy, not only do you save money by generating your own power, but you also reduce your carbon footprint, it feels good on all fronts.”

The system comprises

365 x 270W Yingli Solar Panels
SMA Sunny Tripower 25000TL Inverter
Approx 190 Tonnes of CO2 savings pa

Solar Safety Check

Right now, there are about 500,000 solar installations in Victoria and EnviroGroup has done about 15,000 of them. Since we have been around for 16 years, a lot of our systems are well into their operational lives. On top of that, we are routinely asked to look at systems installed by other companies that have long left the industry leaving them ‘orphaned’. Many of these have not been installed properly or have used sub-standard components. For these reasons, it is very important to have the safety of these systems checked thoroughly by a licensed, A-Grade electrician specializing in solar power.

We are currently in uncertain times with the spread of the Corona virus, a looming recession and the fallout from the bushfire season so making sure your solar system is performing at its best and, most importantly, safely is vital. Your solar system is your biggest ally in reducing your exposure to one of the most annoying bills you can get; your power bill. It’s nice to know that if you are quarantined at home with the family or your income has been compromised, that your electricity bill is being handled for you. It’s a no-brainer!

For $249, an EnviroGroup A-Grade electrician will call on you to carry out a full safety check of your system, clean it and make sure you are performing optimally and safely. If any major work needs to be carried out, they will organize a no-obligation quote.
