In Australia, energy prices have been consistently rising, which continues to drive homeowners and businesses to look at ways of reducing their energy consumption and investing in solar systems.
A family-owned business, Allprint Graphics, in Sydney has been providing innovative printing and graphic communications services for over 60 years. Looking to reduce their rising energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint, they approached Solahart Sydney to analyse their energy usage and design a solar system to manage their energy costs.
Solahart Sydney is part of the Solahart/ Rheem family and has provided families and businesses with solar products for over 70 years.
The Solahart team designed a 99.9kW roof-top mounted solar system incorporating over 200 450W Solahart SunCell Plus panels, a FIMER PVS-100 string inverter, and a smart Solahart Energy Management solution to monitor solar energy production and energy usage.
Maximising return on investment
FIMER’s PVS-100 is an Italian-designed and manufactured all-in-one high-power string inverter. It is the best solution for businesses needing to maximise their investment return for large, decentralised roof-top installations.
The PVS-100 inverter installed at Allprint Graphics has six MPPTs enabling greater design flexibility and energy yield. The system can also be ordered with two MPPTs for applications where the inverter is located far from the solar panel array.
Nathan Vale, Sales Manager at Solahart Sydney, said, “Solahart and FIMER have had a strong partnership delivering quality solar solutions to homeowners for many years. “We are proud to continue this partnership with FIMER by delivering premium solutions to our commercial customers.”
Jason Venning, FIMER Country Manager – Australia and New Zealand, said, “FIMER’s PVS-100 has been a popular choice for installers in Australia for the past five years, with a large installed base around the country and globally. “The solution allows customers to choose a proven, reliable and flexible inverter, regardless of whether you need to install only one unit for a 99.9kW solution (to fall within the STC threshold) or combine multiple PVS-100s for a larger solar system.”
Since the installation and commissioning in October 2022, Allprint Graphics’ solar system has generated over 65MWh of energy. The system is estimated to reduce their annual electricity consumption by 42 per cent saving them more than $17,000 annually, offsetting approximately 128.5 tonnes of CO2 annually.
