Client: Monash University
CTP Scope:
Concept Design, Tender Design and Specification, Tender Response Evaluation, Technical Due Diligence, Final Inspection
Timeframe:
- Design Phase: 10-11/2016
- Construction Phase: 12/2016-01/2017
- System Commissioning: 01/2017
Project Goal:
Offset Monash University’s electricity consumption with solar PV. This project was used as a trial for the large-scale solar PV roll-out that Monash is looking at later in 2017.
Part of the PV System provides DC power to a laboratory run by the Electrical Engineering department. The DC power is used for experimental purposes by the University.
Project Challenges:
-
Challenging roof profile – unknown specification;
-
Part of the roof was covered in asbestos material;
-
Integration into existing University monitoring system.
Project Results:
-
Monash University’s largest solar PV system up to date;
-
Value-for-money outcome for the University;
-
DC power for the Electrical Engineering lab.
