Image: City Of Adelaide<\/p><\/div>\n

A tender will soon open for the installation of 1MW of rooftop solar capacity for the City of Adelaide – but not everyone is happy about it.<\/p>\n

Last year, the City of Adelaide announced it would be adding solar panels to some of its biggest electricity-guzzling buildings. The sites earmarked to have panels installed are Pirie\/Flinders UPark, Wyatt UPark, Adelaide Town Hall and Adelaide Aquatic Centre.<\/p>\n

It’s the last site that has councillor Anne Moran rather cranky. In comments made to InDaily, Cr. Moran said the Aquatic Center was a money pit, losing about $1 million each year – and apportioned part of the blame to the fact it has a roof.<\/p>\n

“Moran said water filtration was exceptionally expensive at the undercover swimming and leisure facility because the water was not exposed to sunlight,” states InDaily<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cr. Moran has had the Center in her cross-hairs for quite some time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The thorny issue of the Aquatic Center aside, the latest rollout will add to the City’s existing 180kW of solar power capacity; installed at Adelaide Central Market, London Road Depot, Rundle UPark and Adelaide Central Bus Station. Those systems alone are expected to save the City of Adelaide $50,000 per annum.<\/p>\n

As well as saving big bucks on electricity, more PV will also help the City towards its goal of achieving carbon-neutrality for its own operations by 2020.<\/p>\n

The tender opens on July 10<\/a> and being such a high profile project will no doubt attract a lot of interest from commercial solar<\/a> installers.<\/p>\n

The City is also encouraging residents, businesses, institutions, community and sporting organisations within its boundaries to install solar panels and solar battery systems. It is still offering incentives<\/a> including up to $5,000 for solar power installations and up to $5,000 for battery storage<\/a> – and that’s in addition to Australia’s existing “solar rebate<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

A good quality 6 kilowatt solar system<\/a> installed on a north facing roof in Adelaide<\/a> could be expected to generate an average of around 24 kilowatt-hours a day; or 8,760 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.<\/p>\n

The City of Adelaide is a small area covering around 15.57 km\u00b2. Clean Energy Regulator data indicates approximately 633 small-scale solar power systems with a collective capacity of 4.3MW had been installed in the 5000 postcode as at May 31 this year. There are a further 492 systems (2.3MW) in North Adelaide (postcode: 5006).<\/p>\n

Analysis released\u00a0 by the Australian PV Institute in April estimated Adelaide\u2019s CBD could support 129MW of solar panels<\/a> on the rooftops of suitable buildings, which would generate 174 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually – enough to provide the equivalent of 26% of the CBD’s electricity consumption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
