Project Description

Karratha TAFE – 192 kW PV System

Client: North Regional TAFE
Location: Karratha
Project Manager: Dave Crooks
Value: $540 K

This project comprises of Fronius inverters, Trina Tier 1, 320 watt panels and Magellan Solar smoother units, grid connected to the Horizon Power Network.

The newest facilities on the Karratha Campus were selected for PV panel installation following engineering assessment of the Skills Centre and Fabrication buildings.

The project design and application process was complex, and involved Horizon Power and The Australian Energy regulator. Adherence to feed in management and system engineering, was also required. Time line requirements were critical aspects of this project.

The system will produce approximately 3.4 Megawatt hours per annum, the majority of which will be consumed by the campus.
