\"Mornington
\nSeveral of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula Shire’s largest buildings are about to become clean power stations harnessing the energy of the sun.<\/p>\n

Mornington Peninsula Shire is located south-east of Melbourne and incorporates localities including Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento. It covers an area of 723km2 and is home to around 164,000.<\/p>\n

Stage two of Council’s solar rollout is about to get underway, which involves installing panels on Rosebud Library, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery and Pelican Park. A total of 584 solar panels<\/a> will be installed across the sites, providing Council (and consequently, ratepayers) savings exceeding $30,000 a year while avoiding 250 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually.<\/p>\n

In an update posted to Facebook on Monday, Council also reported<\/a> a 100kW system has been installed on the Somerville Recreation & Community Centre, which is being reconstructed. It mentions a “40kW<\/strong> Tesla battery” has been connected to the array – I’m assuming that means 3 x Tesla Powerwall 2 units, which each have a capacity of 13.5kWh<\/strong> and a 5kW<\/strong> continuous<\/span> power rating. Either that or eight Powerwall 2 units – but kW and kWh are often confused<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stage one of Council’s PV program, which was completed last year, saw 822 panels (total capacity 250kW) installed on Rosebud Municipal Office, Civic Reserve Recreation Centre and Hastings Library.<\/p>\n

Carbon Neutrality By 2021<\/h2>\n

By the time the PV rollout program is complete, 2,440 solar panels will be on Shire owned and operated buildings, for a total capacity of 707 kW. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council says this will save it more than $132,000 year in energy costs and reduce its carbon emissions by around 15% – 1,062 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per annum.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working towards Carbon Neutrality in Shire operations by 2021 – installing Solar PV panels on a number of Shire buildings is a major step towards achieving this goal,” said<\/a> Shire Mayor Councillor David Gill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Council adopted its Carbon Neutral Policy in February 2016 and is a member of the Climate Council’s Cities Power Partnership<\/a>. As part of its CPP pledge, it is also encouraging local businesses and residents to install solar and battery storage. Council is hosting a series of workshops during this month and March, answering questions about choosing solar power and energy storage systems.<\/p>\n

Commercial solar<\/a> installations of significant capacity are also making an appearance elsewhere on the Peninsula. Last year we reported salad grower Hussey and Co. announced it would be installing a 505kW system<\/a> at its Somerville facility, but it’s not clear if that project has been completed yet. At that point a 99kW system had already been installed for the company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
