St Augustine’s College is reducing its carbon emissions by 40 per cent each year and saving over $40,000 in power bills – thanks to the team at Solahart Sydney Direct.

Located in Brookvale on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, St Augustine’s College is home to 1,200 students from Years 5 to 12. The new rooftop solar system reduces the school’s carbon footprint by approximately 255 tonnes per year – equivalent to taking 11 school buses off the road.

The Sydney-based school installed a 232kW high-performing solar system on the additional roof space constructed as part of its most recent development, the award-winning Goold Building.

With a goal to reduce daytime power consumption and offset carbon emissions, the future-focused school turned to Solahart to provide the solution.

Solahart installed a commercial-sized 232.26kW Solahart system with almost 600 solar panels. The project also saw the installation of SolarEdge Three Phase Inverters, Dual DC Power Optimisers, and a SolarEdge Consumption Monitoring system – allowing the school to monitor its energy consumption and system performance.
