Fulton Hogan's laboratory was experiencing power outages. Fulton Hogan monitored the Lab to understand loads and priced installing a new supply cable from the network. Instead, they got Reid Technology to install solar + battery storage to address the problem.
System size: 25.89kWp
Location: Ellerslie
Operating since: July 2015
Client: Fulton Hogan
Sector: Construction
Key performance points:
Forecast to produce 34,023 kWh pa (or 30% of daily power used in Lab on a sunny day in June)
Battery system will cut in when loads peak in excess of 40kWp
System lifetime – solar in excess of 40 years; battery in excess of 20 years
We were awarded the contract to build the 2.2MWp Solar Farm at the Apia Racecourse in Samoa. The Racecourse Solar Farm was opened during the Small Island Developing States conference in Samoa by the Samoan Prime Minister Tuila'epa Sai'ilele Malielegaoi and the then- NZ Minister of Foreign Affairs, Murray McCully.
