Five shopping malls in South and Western Australia will be equipped with new solar-powered equipment. The $28 million investment in the project is the largest investment in solar equipment in Australia`s history.
The project includes 39000 stand-alone solar panels, which will generate more than 17400MW a year, equivalent to three and a half years of Adelaide Oval lighting.
The first phase of the project will include three shopping malls in Adelaide, Castle Plaza, Elizabeth City Centre and Kurralta Park Central, and Ellenbrook Central and Currambine Central. in Western Australia. 5.8MWH `s Elizabeth City Centre project will become Australia`s largest single solar power project, while Castle Plaza will become the largest shopping mall battery installation project in the country.
Solar panels will be installed on the top floor of the mall and above the awning in the parking lot, and the huge amount of energy generated through solar energy and the battery system will be used directly at the installation site, which will reduce the impact of energy price fluctuations on businesses. "
The project, which will begin next month, will create at least 110 skilled jobs in South Australia and 40 in Western Australia.
The solar installation program will give South Australia and Western Australia a taste of new energy, which will help the two states create a low-carbon future together.
The environmental benefits of the project are that once the project runs, it will reduce the number of vehicles on the road by 9500 and provide electricity to 3000 households for a full year.
"We know we have to take responsibility for creating good communities and sustainable development, and this is a win-win plan because our consumers, retailers, Investors and the communities we live together will be beneficiaries. "
The big investment will help shopping malls use electricity flexibly through high-tech, which will also enhance their operating standards. With the help of solar energy, energy points out that it can be effectively reduced.
The solar project will include experimental areas and two-sided solar panels, cloud tracking technology and electric flash stations for electric vehicles.
The second phase of the project is expected to be completed by 2020.
South Australia`s governor, Steven Marshall, attended the launch of the solar energy project in Elizabeth.
