\"Busways<\/p>\n

New South Wales bus operator Busways has unveiled a shiny new solar power system at its Penrith depot.<\/p>\n

The company says it’s aiming to generate 150,000 kWh of electricity annually with the 99.75kW system – which is probably achievable (or close to it) given the size of the array and location. The solar panels used for the system are REC<\/a> TwinPeak, which you can find specifications of in SQ’s solar panel comparison table<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a business we have a responsibility to do whatever we can for the environment and the sustainability of our planet,” said<\/a> Managing Director of Busways, Byron Rowe. \u201cOur operations, like all businesses, have an environmental impact. We\u2019re constantly looking at more ways where we can reduce this impact.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The environment aside, the company will be saving a bunch of bucks on its electricity costs too.<\/p>\n

The system was installed by 24 Hour Solar Power.<\/p>\n

Busway’s other sustainability efforts include rainwater harvesting and the use of LED and sensor lights. Mr. Rowe states the company also recently introduced\u00a0 “Euro 6<\/a>” compliant vehicles to its fleet, which he says have diesel engines achieving a 75% reduction in emissions compared with previous buses. Busways is also participating in a government exploration of a zero emissions bus (ZEB) trial – possibly this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Busways has 16 bus depots across NSW and has been operating for more than 75 years. Its contracted regions include Western Sydney, the Central Coast and North Coast.<\/p>\n

What’s With All These 99.xkW Systems?<\/h2>\n

If you follow commercial solar news, you’ve probably noticed quite a few solar power systems being installed that are 100kW capacity or just a whisker under.<\/p>\n

Systems 100kW or less qualify for Australia’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), enabling a business to claim the \u201csolar rebate<\/a>\u201d instead of having to deal with the complexities of the Large-scale Generation Certificate (LGC) system.<\/p>\n

A 99.75kW solar power system installed in the Penrith area is eligible for 1,654 Small-scale Technology Certificates – also known as STCs. Australia’s small-scale solar subsidy is based on these certificates and at a value of ~$37.25 1<\/a><\/sup> each, this represents a saving of more than $61,000.<\/p>\n

Currently, commercial solar costs<\/a> around $1,000 \u2013 $1,300 per kW installed, after the subsidy is taken into account. With mains electricity so expensive and a solar payback period of around just 4 years in many instances for commercial installations, it’s now more a case of businesses needing to consider whether they can afford not to install solar panels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
