CTP Scope:
Feasibility study, Tender Documents, Construction & Commissioning Oversight
Timeframe:
- Preliminary Phase: June 2018
- Design Phase: July 2018
- Construction Phase: August 2018
- System Commissioning: September 2018
Project Goals:
-
Pro-bono work by CTP, giving back to the local community.
-
Expert designs for a solar + battery system for the club house building.
-
Achieving the best value for money result for the club and its members!
Project Challenges:
The club house building is heritage listed, which meant that structural drawings had to be assessed and the solar system designed around the no-go zones.
The club has a spiky load profile due to floodlights at night and recently upgraded to LEDs, which required detailed financial modeling to come up with the business case.
Project Results:
- A system that meets the club’s daytime loads most of the time and saves excess energy in the DC-coupled battery system. Cuts the club’s power bills in half, with a single-digit year payback period. Great for the club’s green branding as both panels and the battery system are highly visible for the players when enjoying a hit on the courts.
