Challenges and Solutions
The building is a multi-use complex containing office and restaurant spaces. We achieved low levels of disruption with strong project management across all aspects of the project, resulting in minimum disruption to the users of the building during the installation of the project.
Community Impact
The solar installation has delivered multiple benefits to the Kinrise Real Estate and the surrounding area:
- Financial Savings: The centre has reduced its electricity bills significantly, allowing more funds to be directed toward community programs.
- Environmental Contribution: The carbon savings are equivalent to planting over 251 trees annually, reducing the community’s carbon footprint.
- Energy Independence: By generating its own clean energy, the building is less reliant on the national grid, ensuring greater resilience in times of energy price fluctuations.
“Our experience working with Eco Providers has been excellent from start to finish.”
