Warehouse by Design is set to save almost $6,000 per year and offset its annual electricity consumption by 73 per cent with Solahart

After running his full-service signage centre in Hobart for over 19 years, Michael Caruso wanted to future-proof the business with solar.

The move to solar provides Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary with vital energy reserves, future-proofing operations and reducing carbon footprint.

With ever-increasing power bills, Dentaurum assessed their escalating electricity usage and charges; looking for ways to reduce their bills and also to become as self-sufficient as possible, solar power was an obvious and simple solution.

Being a reasonably large school, the monthly power bill was considerable. With approval received to expand the campus further, the school knew it was time to take action to mitigate their spiralling energy costs.

With energy-intensive medical facilities, electricity usage is around 100kWh per day. With rising power costs in WA, Busselton Vet Hospital wanted a cost-effective solution that would reduce business expenses.

Moving to larger premises in early 2016, Jason, the owner of Tint a Car Mandurah, had a vision for a sustainable future and an organisation strategic plan.

With power costs rising, Crokers Truck Centre assessed their electricity usage and performed a renovation of the lighting systems around the office. Doing this led them to look for further avenues of environmentally sound, cost-reduction opportunities.

Electrical Inspections Victoria wanted to reduce their energy costs and decided to investigate installing solar panels to achieve this. Furthermore, they did not wish to feed electricity back to the grid.

Bridgewater River Terraces Body Corp wanted to remove their daytime base-load consumption from the community power bill. Existing measures, such as switching over to LED lighting, have been taken to reduce consumption. The remaining daytime load was to be offset by solar power.

John Tipping challenged Solahart to come up with ways to reduce the communal power bill and recommend an appropriate battery system backup.
