Project Overview
Client: Metso – Stage 2
Project Size: 200kW DC Solar
Project Type: Rooftop Commercial Solar System
Location: Canning Vale, Western Australia
Westsun Energy was engaged to deliver Stage 2 of a commercial solar installation at Metso in Canning Vale, expanding the site’s renewable energy capacity with an additional 200kW DC system.
The objective was to further reduce electricity costs, increase on-site solar generation, and support the client’s long-term energy and sustainability strategy.
As a WA-based commercial solar EPC provider, Westsun Energy delivered a system designed to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure while maximising performance and reliability.
Challenges
→ System Expansion: Integrating Stage 2 with the existing solar installation while maintaining system performance and consistency.
→ Operational Continuity: Coordinating installation works with minimal disruption to ongoing site operations.
→ Maximising Output: Designing a system that efficiently utilises available roof space to deliver strong energy generation.
Solution
Westsun Energy engineered and installed a high-performance commercial solar system featuring:
→ 400 × 500W SunPower Solar Panels: Premium high-efficiency modules selected to maximise energy production across the available rooftop footprint.
→ 2 × SMA Three-Phase Inverters: Delivering reliable power conversion with strong performance for commercial-scale systems.
System design focused on:
→ Maximising Energy Production: Delivering strong solar output to further offset grid electricity consumption.
→ Seamless Integration: Ensuring compatibility with the existing solar infrastructure on site.
→ Reliable Performance: Using proven commercial-grade components suited to Western Australian condition
Results & Benefits
→ Solar System Size: 200kW DC
→ Solar Panels Installed: 400 × 500W SunPower modules
→ Inverter Capacity: 2 × SMA three-phase inverters
→ Increased Solar Capacity: Expanded on-site generation to further reduce grid reliance
→ Energy Cost Reduction: Additional solar generation supports ongoing savings
→ Sustainability Impact: Further reduction in carbon emissions through increased renewable energy use
Conclusion
Stage 2 of the Metso Canning Vale installation demonstrates how expanding existing solar infrastructure can deliver increased energy efficiency and long-term cost savings.
By adding a 200kW system, Westsun Energy enhanced the site’s renewable energy capacity, supporting improved performance, reduced operating costs, and sustainability outcomes.
