60kW Rooftop Solar for Grant Engineered in Penrith, NSW

PROJECT SUMMARY

We spoke to Grant Engineered in 2017 about solar, and they quickly became enthusiastic. They had been looking for ways to reduce their electricity costs without impacting production for a while. Grid-connect solar was just the right fit.

On-site solar is typically installed on your roof-top or your car park and requires little to no interference with your electrical system as it is simply added on.

Solar is becoming an increasingly popular part of the energy mix for metal fabricators. The workshop operates in peak sun-hours, increasing solar self-consumption to a healthy percentage.

Grant Engineered can expect to see a Return on Investment of 32.43%.
