Sushi World Banksmeadow’s foodservice solar rewards
PROJECT SUMMARY
Sushi World Banksmeadow had two motivations for their new commercial solar system. One, to reduce their carbon footprint. Two, to offset their electricity costs.
They have periodic shadow on their roof from air-conditioning units so we suggested SolarEdge DC Optimizers to reduce the impact on their solar generation.
Sushi World Banksmeadow is one of a raft of service businesses which are moving to use solar to power their premises. Among their numbers are petrol stations, car body shops, and metal fabricators. The rising popularity can be explained by several factors. For Sushi World, they have a constant load due to refrigeration. This enables them to offset usage across all 7 days of the week.
