Mitchell Shire Council will soon flip the switch to solar energy at the Kilmore Leisure Centre, following the installation of a solar panel system set to revolutionise how the centre powers its operations.
The 61.6kW solar system comprises 112 JA Solar panels, each rated at 550W, installed on the rooftop. This state-of-the-art setup, monitored by Solar Analytics, will track electricity generation and consumption, ensuring cost savings and optimal energy use.
By harnessing solar power, the Centre will benefit from significant cost savings on electricity usage, drawing from the grid only when necessary.
Part of Council's capital works program, this project aligns with Mitchell Shire Council's Climate Emergency Action Plan, demonstrating our commitment to reduce emissions and build resilience to climate change.
