Bega Valley Council Library Project
Runner Up 2013 CEC Awards
Client: Essential Energy
Project: Bega Valley Council Library 200kWh Dispatchable Energy Project
Project Brief: In 2012, Essential Energy contracted LJW Solar to design and construct a solar-generation system with linked storage capacity at the Bega Valley Shire Council Library. The purpose was to test and confirm the benefits and value of deploying a solar-generation plant where output is stable and not as impacted by local environmental variations. An additional requirement was to put power back on the network at times that were more beneficial, and to ultimately facilitate reduction of thermal base-load generation.
System Details:
3 Selectronic SPMC481 Inverter/Chargers
108 Suntech 190w Monocrystalline Panels
6 Midnight Classic 150v Regulators
72 LJW Solar 1500Ah Batteries
Commissioned: June 2012
