It&#8217;s assumed (as it wasn&#8217;t mentioned) the facilities will also benefit from significantly reduced energy costs associated with their normal operations.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is a great investment in the safety of our regional communities, while also providing energy resilience in areas prone to bushfires,&#8221; said RACV Chief Executive Officer Neil Taylor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>RACV Getting Its Own Solar On<\/h2>\n<p>Over the past couple of years, RACV has undertaken a major energy-efficiency initiative for its own operations, installing more than 5,500 solar panels at RACV resorts, club facilities and offices. Among these installations is a 510kW system at its Torquay Resort that features 1,645 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/winaico-review.html\">Winaico solar panels<\/a>. More recently, a 250kWh battery system was added at Torquay.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45583 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/torquay-resort-solar.jpg\" alt=\"Solar panels on RACV Torquay Resort\" width=\"700\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/torquay-resort-solar.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/torquay-resort-solar-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At RACV&#8217;s corporate offices in Noble Park, 2,000 solar panels were installed last year.<\/p>\n<p>The solar installations along with a switch to LED lighting and air-conditioning system upgrades have reduced RACV&#8217;s carbon emissions by an estimated 5,000 tonnes a year. Once the program is complete, it&#8217;s expected RACV\u2019s annual mains-supplied electricity usage will be slashed by 8,000 megawatt-hours and carbon emissions reduced by 9,000 tonnes a year.<\/p>\n<p>Through these installations and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/racv-renewable-energy-mb1289\/\">deal struck with Red Energy<\/a> last year, RACV switched to 100% renewables in January. Under the agreement with Red Energy, RACV is purchasing 21 gigawatt hours of renewable electricity per year.<\/p>\n<p>Also in 2019, RACV acquired Victorian solar and battery installation firm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/installer-review\/gippsland-solar\/\">Gippsland Solar<\/a>. The company\u2019s residential solar business was rebranded to RACV Solar while the commercial business retains the Gippsland Solar name.<\/p>\n<h2>RACV And Electric Vehicles<\/h2>\n<p>On a related note, the organisation has made inroads into supporting electric vehicles, investing alongside other motoring clubs in 2018 in Chargefox to build Australia\u2019s largest ultra-rapid electric vehicle charging system that is entirely powered by renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>In a more controversial move, RACV has also recently thrown its support behind an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/aaa-electric-car-tax-mb1773\/\">electric vehicle road usage tax in Victoria<\/a>, stating it was a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.racv.com.au\/royalauto\/moving\/news-information\/racv-welcomes-electric-vehicle-tax.html\">win for road users<\/a>&#8221; and a first step towards a fairer overall user-pays road system . RACV says it has long advocated\u00a0for such as system nationally to generate funding for road projects, instead of the current mish-mash of state and federal taxes and fees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Royal Automobile Club of Victoria has announced it will install dozens of solar power and battery storage systems at no cost in bushfire-prone communities over the next couple of years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":45582,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>RACV Donating $1 Million Worth Of Solar + Battery System Installations<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"RACV has announced it will install dozens of solar power and battery storage systems at no cost in bushfire-prone communities in Victoria.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/racv-solar-donation-mb1793\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"RACV Donating $1 Million Worth Of Solar + Battery System Installations\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"RACV has announced it will install dozens of solar power and battery storage systems at no cost in bushfire-prone communities in Victoria.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/racv-solar-donation-mb1793\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-12-08T20:56:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/racv-solar-donation.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/racv-solar-donation-mb1793\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/racv-solar-donation-mb1793\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"RACV Donating $1 Million Worth Of Solar + Battery System Installations\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-12-08T20:56:45+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/racv-solar-donation-mb1793\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":512,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/racv-solar-donation-mb1793\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/12\\\/racv-solar-donation.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
