We
have had talks with Council
staff in general terms and identified the Peninsula Leisure Centre (PLC).Installing a large PV system on the roof of the
PLC
is an ideal project for the following reasons:This would be a high visibility project Excellent potential to demonstrate Council’s engagement with the communityRepresents high energy usage, with maximum demand during the day
The building was purpose built for PV, but it was not installed due to budget constraintsOther options for consideration:Incorporate a solar roof into the specifications of the new Woy Woy Grandstand Solar installations on waste treatment facilities
Identified project
