02 / The challenge
Working around the site.
The centre had limited usable roof space but a large, exposed visitor car park. Construction needed to preserve safe pedestrian routes and keep programs, deliveries and accessible parking operating throughout the project.
03 / The solution
A design built for the load.
A purpose-built solar carport turned the available parking area into a productive asset. The structure provides weather protection, directs stormwater cleanly and feeds generation into the centre’s main daytime electrical load.
04 / Delivery
From design through to handover.
System design
Solar-carport engineering, parking-bay layout and site-generation modelling.
Installation
Programmed civil, structural and electrical works with maintained public access.
Grid coordination
Main-switchboard connection, export settings and distributor approvals.
Monitoring
Reception display feed, facilities dashboard and staff handover training.
