Project Overview
Client: Durack Centre
Project Size: 119.34kW DC Solar
Project Type: Rooftop Commercial Solar System
Location: Perth CBD, Western Australia
Westsun Energy was engaged to design and install a 119.34kW commercial solar system at the Durack Centre in Perth CBD.
The objective was to reduce electricity costs, improve energy efficiency, and support the long-term sustainability goals of this prominent commercial building. Working within the Perth CBD required careful planning and coordination to ensure installation activities were completed safely and with minimal disruption to surrounding businesses and occupants.
As a WA-based commercial solar EPC provider, Westsun Energy delivered a tailored solution designed to maximise solar generation and provide long-term operational savings.
Challenges
→ CBD Environment: Coordinating works within a busy commercial precinct while maintaining safe access and minimising disruption.
→ Building Constraints: Designing a system to maximise available rooftop space and energy production.
→ Operational Continuity: Ensuring installation activities were carried out efficiently while maintaining normal building operations.
Solution
Westsun Energy engineered and installed a high-performance commercial solar system featuring:
→ 234 × Canadian Solar Panels: High-efficiency modules selected to maximise energy production across the available rooftop footprint.
→ 1 × Sungrow Inverter: Commercial-grade inverter technology delivering reliable performance and efficient power conversion.
System design focused on:
→ Maximising Energy Production: Delivering strong daytime solar output to offset building electricity consumption.
→ Long-Term Reliability: Utilising proven commercial-grade equipment suited to Western Australian conditions.
→ Operational Efficiency: Supporting reduced energy costs and improved asset performance over the long term.
Results & Benefits
→ Solar System Size: 119.34kW DC
→ Solar Panels Installed: 234 × Canadian Solar modules
→ Inverter: 1 × Sungrow inverter
→ Reduced Electricity Costs: Solar generation helps offset ongoing operational expenses.
→ Improved Energy Efficiency: Supports the building’s daily operations with renewable energy generation.
