1.27MW Commercial Solar Installation
KUGA successfully designed and implemented a 1.27MW solar installation for G&K O’Connor, taking advantage of the Victorian VEEC program to help finance the project. The program’s rebates played a crucial role in reducing the overall cost. Meeting the deadline was essential, as the rebates were time-limited and the client needed the project to be practically completed by January 31st, 2023. To accommodate the installation across four separate roofs, KUGA devised a system design that spanned these areas. However, due to cabling limitations within the facility. KUGA engineered and constructed a customised inverter station directly above the main switchboard on the roof. This solution ensured efficient power distribution within the facility electrical system.
1.2MW Solar Installation
KUGA completed a 1.2MW rooftop solar installation in Melbourne West. KUGA Electrical was selected as the successful EPC partner for a 1.2MW solar installation in MAY 2022. In addition to reputation and quality, the key selection factor was turnaround time. The client needed a supplier with the capability to install site inspection thorough to practical completion was 10 weeks. In addition to the accelerated timeline, quality control was paramount and the KUGA install was subjected to Agile Energy two external consultants who independently ensured every aspect of the system was optimised and compliant.
1.022MW Solar Installation
The Amerciold facility in Murrarie, QLD engaged KUGA to install the maximum amount of solar possible. The client has a 24/7 constant electrical load and wanted to reduce this as much as possible.
KUGA needed to work with structural Engineers to design around the load constraints caused by heavy insulating panels which created static loads on the supporting beams. The panel layout constraints were exacerbated by the new wind standards in Queensland. In the end, KUGA was able to install over 1MW in PV capacity, and developed a custom connection solution directly onto the live copper bars of the site’s low volt-age switchboard. These works had to be done in a single shutdown over a Saturday night. This represents the largest Australian install so far for the client.
845kW Solar Installation
Heritage care is a leading, privately-owned aged care facility network. To reduce overheads across their portfolio, they engaged KUGA Electrical to install solar power on six of their sites across Victoria and New South Wales. Many of the facilities had complicated roof topologies often constructed from tile. Access and noise restrictions in consideration for the sensitive residents were top priorities. Expert installation and project management experience were therefore essential. Ultimately, 845kW of solar power was installed across the six facilities. The panels selected were the smaller 60-cell 370W Hanwa Q Cell PV modules. The solar project provides over 3,000 kWh of renewable energy every day to Heritage Care. This equates to almost 1,000 tonnes of CO2 being removed from the environment per year.
