Solar Hot Water Systems Melbourne & Installation | Sunwatt Solar Engery, Victoria

 General information about Sunwatt Australia in the community: 

St Damian’s Primary School received funding from the National Solar Schools Program and the Victorian ‘Solar in Schools Initiative’. Sunwatt Aust P/L was commissioned to install a 30 panel solar electrical system and high efficiency lighting.

Sustainable Group Services provided the lighting solution. The synergistic mix of technologies lets St Damian’s Primary School improve their efficiency as well as reduce their ongoing energy costs.

Generation: Electricity generated by their 5.25 kilowatt solar power system provides greenhouse savings and excess electricity can be sold back to the electricity network during weekends and school holidays. The electricity generated by the solar systems approximately 7,500kWh per year.

Efficiency: During school hours, 280 high efficiency lights reduces energy demand by 4 kilowatt and overall consumption by 6,700 kWh per year.

With upgraded lighting, some of the key benefits for St Damian’s School are energy savings, reduced maintenance and the ability to educate people of all ages (children and community) about the benefits of reducing electricity consumption and as a community to collectively better manage our carbon footprint. 

280 T5 conversion units were installed in existing lighting fittings creating savings of over 8 tonnes of CO2e per year, 6,700kWh less electricity and annual billable energy savings of $1,700.

• The before/after billable energy savings with the lighting upgrade are better than 30%
• In summer, additional energy and cost savings accrue through reducing the load on the air-conditioning system. This also assists in comfort of the students in the classrooms
• T5 electronic controlled lighting offers advantages of nil flicker or hum and instantaneous starting
• St Damian’s new lighting will reduce future maintenance with further savings in labour costs
• All removed fluorescent tubes were fully recycled. The certificate is included in this report
