AUSTRALIA

Shire of Mundaring, WA

This 16kWp Solar PV system was installed in September 2010. It incorporates a unique visual display system with an LCD monitor in the lobby of the Shire Offices. The display software ("SolcoShare®") was designed by Solco and allows Shire personnel to insert and update general topical information as well as providing instantaneous and cumulative performance data for the solar array.

BHP Mt Whaleback Dust Monitoring Power System

To manage and monitor dust levels at its Mt Whaleback Iron Ore Mine, Ecotech and BHP needed a key background reference site several kilometres from the power grid. Solco successfully installed and commissioned the 11.7kW solar array, battery system and inverter in 4.5 days allowing the dust monitoring system to be commissioned on time. High site ambient temperatures, start-up air conditioning loads and 5 day autonomy considerations were some of the factors Solco addressed in the system design and install.

State Water Corp NSW

Solco has recently been commissioned to design and supply the New South Wales State Water Corporation with PV Solar Power Systems to power two of their remote regulator sites. The systems will help in maintaining a sustainable water resource.

Remote Yarrie Cattle Station

The Yarrie Cattle Station in the northwest of Australia has a homestead, workshop and quarters' power demand of up to 24kW which varies markedly across the year. Solco supplied and installed a Hybrid Solar and Diesel power system with long-term battery backup to provide 24 hour, 365 day a year 240V AC supply.

Solar School Programme

Solco directly and through our wholesale dealer base has installed many of the solar systems under the WA Solar Schools Programme. The solar systems give the students the ability to extract and display meaningful data on the system’s performance, which enable students to learn about renewable energy and ways to save energy.

 

INTERNATIONAL

East Timor - Laclo water supply

The town of Laclo, east of Dili, lies some 500 metres from a reliable water supply. Before this project, women and children carried water by hand from the river up to the village. After the project was successfully completed, a solar-powered pumping system was delivering 45,000 litres of water a day to a large tank uphill of the town, providing ample supply at useful pressures without ongoing fuel and maintenance costs.

Maldives - purified water supply

The Maldives were devastated by the tsunami on Boxing Day, 2004. This disaster, along with poor existing sewerage systems, meant that water contamination was rife and islanders had to buy expensive imported bottled water. Solco installed a solar pumping system with integrated purification on the island of Kulhudhuffushi. This allowed for the establishment of a local business selling bottled water at half the price.

East Timor - community water supply

In August 2000, Solco established an assembly and service operation in East Timor, with the intention of supplying water and power to East Timorese communities using solar power. To date, some 16 Sun MillTM solar pumping systems have been installed in community water supply systems, providing running water for more than 12,000 people.

Torres Strait Island Solar Schools

Solco was awarded the "Solar Schools Goes Bush" Project in 2005, in which 19 remote Torres Strait Island Schools each had 5kW grid connected solar system installed. Each school also received a comprehensive educational package developed by Solco along with a "Solar Suitcase", an educational tool, which Solco developed and manufactured for use in the schools as part of the programme delivery.
