McLaren Vale Winery Ground-Mounted Solar Installation: NGER Compliance Update

With new laws under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme requiring Australian businesses to report their greenhouse gas emissions, energy production, and energy consumption, P4B Solar has introduced its latest commercial solar panel installation services to help wineries reduce their environmental footprint and save on rising electricity costs. The solar panels can be complemented with battery storage, power factor correction, voltage optimisation, and other management technologies that will further bolster the economic viability of the system.

Australian electricity prices are continuing to rise, with average wholesale prices increasing by anywhere between 49% and 134% across all regions, according to recent data from the Australian Energy Regulator. Price hikes and volatility are driven in part by reduced availability of coal generation due to planned maintenance outages, which are deemed necessary as many sectors make the transition to renewable energy infrastructure. However, this creates an additional problem for businesses still reliant on coal power, as blackouts can result in significant disruptions to operations – especially for energy-demanding wineries.

To improve energy security and prevent potential losses, P4B Solar says that wineries can transition to solar power, which is a reliable source of renewable energy in South Australia. Conversely, wineries that have already had solar systems installed for over a decade will also require upgrades or replacements, as older solar infrastructure is much less efficient than newer systems. P4B Solar offers services for both situations and can completely manage switchover and retrofitting projects while minimising disruption to the client’s operations.

As part of its services, P4B Solar will conduct an on-site assessment to determine the needs of the client. Based on their energy requirements, the company may recommend either ground-mounted or roof-mounted bifacial solar panels, both of which are viable in rural locations and will generate up to 50% more solar power than single-sided panels. These systems are also compatible with Sigen Energy battery storage, smart systems, and other infrastructure that will improve energy stability and grid independence, especially in remote areas.

Once installation or upgrades are complete, P4B Solar will continue to monitor the system on a weekly basis. Upon discovering an issue, the company’s technicians will notify the client immediately, ensuring that they will be able to address the issue quickly and prevent downtime.
