Solarator Fold-Out 50+ kVa replaced traditional diesel at Barwon, VIC
Case Studies
July 30,2024
Overview:
Symal was commissioned to deliver a community infrastructure project involving the Chisholm Road Prison
Precinct.
Key challenge:
Replace costly and noisy diesel generator to power temporary site huts, first aid facility and toilet blocks.
Solarator® solution:
Black Stump Technologies worked with Symal to deploy a first-generation Solarator® Fold-Out 50+ kVa. Our clean energy generator replaced a 44 kVa diesel unit with 2000L aux fuel cell and has supplied an average of 90% renewable energy during its 6-month deployment. As a result of replacing diesel genset with
Solarator®, Symal saved up to $32,000 per annum on fuel costs and avoided emitting up to 100,000 kgs of carbon annually.
Project wins:
- Quiet and reliable operations
- Comfortable workers camp
- Minimal labour required to deploy and stow solar arrays
- Performance data used for ESG compliance and strategic business decisions
