Mineral Resources Limited Solar Project by Westsun Energy
Westsun Energy designed and installed a 195.75kW commercial solar system for Mineral Resources Limited (MRL) at their headquarters in Osborne Park, Western Australia. MRL is a leading mining services company with operations across iron ore and lithium, and a strong commitment to sustainability and emissions reduction.
This complex, multi-level installation required a highly customised solar solution to maximise energy generation across all roof aspects while meeting strict engineering, safety, and compliance requirements. By partnering with industry-leading suppliers and delivering a tailored design, Westsun Energy successfully provided a reliable, high-performance solar system aligned with MRL’s long-term decarbonisation goals.
This project demonstrates Westsun Energy’s capability to deliver safe, efficient, and scalable solar solutions for the mining sector and large industrial organisations. Speak to our team to explore how solar can support your mining operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Interested in solar power for mining but not sure where to start? Below are some frequently asked questions we get from clients wanting to get started.
How does solar benefit mining operations?
Solar reduces fuel costs, lowers emissions, and improves energy security, particularly for remote mining sites. Hybrid solar systems can significantly cut diesel usage while maintaining reliable power supply.
Is solar reliable enough for mining sites?
Yes. Modern solar systems for mining are designed with storage, hybrid generation, or grid integration to ensure consistent power availability even during peak demand or low sunlight periods.
Can solar be used at remote or off-grid mines?
Absolutely. Solar for mining is especially effective for remote operations, often combined with batteries or diesel generators to create reliable hybrid power systems.
What size solar system does a mine need?
System size depends on operational load, site conditions, and energy goals. Westsun Energy designs tailored solutions ranging from partial load offset systems to large-scale solar plants supporting full site operations.
How long does it take to install a solar system at a mine?
Project timelines vary based on size and complexity, but most mining solar projects follow a structured process from design to commissioning, ensuring minimal disruption to operations.
