New South Wales’ Central Coast Council will be saving bigger bucks on electricity through the installation of thousands more solar panels across its assets.<\/p>\n

Council is in the process of installing an additional 1.2 MW of PV capacity, rolling out 3,500 solar panels on the rooftops of 28 Council-owned buildings. This will result in mains grid electricity consumption slashed by 1.4 GWh annually and save a further $200,000 a year; as well as avoiding 1,100 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is rewarding to see a project underway which not only reduces Council expenses but also incorporates renewable energy for the conservation, protection and remediation of our environment,\u201d said<\/a> Mayor Lisa Matthews.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Part of the funding for the new project has come from money that was collected at Woy Woy Tip under the repealed Federal Government “carbon tax”.<\/p>\n

Central Coast Council’s first big solar push was back in 2015\/16 when 1,700 solar panels totaling 455 kW capacity were installed at various facilities including Central Coast Stadium,\u00a0 Somersby Water Treatment Plant and Peninsula Leisure Centre.<\/p>\n

Council has also been utilising solar energy in other ways – including to power vehicle activated speed signs<\/a> that alert approaching motorists to their current speed in real time. Other applications include solar lighting and a solar powered waste compactor system, Bigbelly Bin, which has the capacity of up to five times that of conventional bins.<\/p>\n

Central Coast Council’s other home-brewed energy projects involve gas extraction and electricity generation facilities at its landfill sites. More than 30 gigawatt- hours of electricity is produced each year from the three sites.<\/p>\n

Solar On The Central Coast<\/h2>\n

Approximately 17.9% of compatible dwellings in the Central Coast LGA had solar power systems installed as at September last year according to<\/a> the Australian Photovoltaic Institute; against a NSW average of 20% at that time.<\/p>\n

Looking at Gosford, solar panels<\/a> are popular among households and businesses, with more than 5,373 small-scale (<100kW)\u00a0 systems installed for a collective capacity of 27.5MW as at the end of May this year. In Wyong<\/a>, more than 6,786 small-scale solar systems had been installed by the end of May.<\/p>\n

It’s certainly worthwhile for Central Coast households to look into harnessing solar energy to slash their power bills and carbon footprint. According to SQ’s solar calculator<\/a> and using the default settings, a 6.6kW system installed in Gosford can have a simple payback period of under 4 years.<\/p>\n
