Project Overview
In collaboration with Proserpine Nursing Home, Green Energy Technologies (GET) delivered a comprehensive solar and battery solution designed to significantly reduce energy costs while ensuring a reliable and sustainable power supply. The project was executed in a carefully planned, multi-stage rollout, allowing for seamless integration without disrupting the critical daily operations of the busy nursing home.
With a total of 300kW of solar power and 124kWh of battery storage, this installation demonstrates GET’s ability to deliver scalable, high-performance solar solutions that provide long-term financial and environmental benefits.
Stage 1: Initial Solar Installation (2016)
The first phase of the project saw the installation of a 100kW solar system, strategically placed to maximize energy generation. Advanced monitoring capabilities were integrated from the outset, allowing real-time performance tracking and optimization. This initial step provided immediate energy cost reductions, demonstrating the potential for further expansion.
Stage 2: System Expansion (2017)
Building on the success of the initial system, GET expanded the solar capacity by an additional 100kW. This phase required meticulous planning to ensure minimal disruption to residents and staff. Construction and power transitions were scheduled strategically to maintain uninterrupted facility operations.
Stage 3: Battery Storage and Final Solar Expansion (2020)
The final phase involved the installation of another 100kW of solar panels and the addition of 124kWh of battery storage. This upgrade significantly enhanced energy efficiency by allowing the facility to store excess solar power for use during peak demand periods and nighttime hours. The integration of battery storage provided greater energy independence, further reducing reliance on the grid and protecting against potential energy price increases.
Ongoing Benefits and Monitoring
To ensure continued efficiency and cost savings, Proserpine Nursing Home is supported by GET360, our advanced monitoring platform. This system enables real-time tracking of energy production and consumption, ensuring maximum performance and prompt issue resolution.
Key benefits include:
Significant cost savings – Reduced energy expenses through optimized solar generation and battery storage.
Energy independence – Decreased reliance on the grid, enhancing financial predictability.
Environmental impact – Lower carbon footprint, supporting a sustainable future.
Reliable backup power – Battery storage provides additional security during grid outages.
Conclusion
