Its largest installation to date is a 1.8MW project in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/location\/cairns-4870-qld\/\">Cairns<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As at June 30 this year, Stockland&#8217;s total operational solar PV capacity was 16.4MW.<\/p>\n<h2>Solar + Shopping Centres = Big Energy Cost Savings<\/h2>\n<p>Solar installations on shopping centres across Australia have become increasingly common as developers\/owners seek to not only slash emissions associated with operations, but also save on electricity costs.<\/p>\n<p>Another major retail developer to get into solar PV in a big way is Vicinity Centres.
