Leading University
University campus solar farm
Solar Farm
Solar farm specifications, project coordination and grid connection modelling.
Key Achievements:
Having assisted the University through its significant rooftop solar and carport solar roll out, we were engaged to assist with a large scale ground mount solar project.
- Concept design for solar farm through to tender specifications.
- Joined up approach between solar farm and BESS projects.
- Boosting solar production on campus by 100% in addition to rooftop solar fleet.

Impact
- Significant reduction in campus electricity import.
- Reduction in greenhouse emissions footprint.
- Joined up approach between solar farm and BESS projects.
