Project Overview
Client: Vector Lifting
Project Size: 95kW DC Solar
Project Type: Rooftop Commercial Solar System
Location: Cockburn Central, Western Australia
Westsun Energy was engaged to design and install a 95kW commercial solar system for Vector Lifting in Cockburn Central, WA.
Vector Lifting is a Western Australian engineering firm specialising in the design and manufacture of mechanical lifting systems and jib cranes. With ongoing operational energy demands, the objective was to reduce electricity costs, improve energy efficiency, and provide a reliable renewable energy solution to support long-term business operations.
As a WA-based commercial solar EPC provider, Westsun Energy delivered a tailored system designed to maximise solar generation and provide long-term operational savings.
Challenges
