Current Energy Systems

[Lance ZaficoParticipant]

What products are you currently using in terms of solar panels, batteries and inverter controllers? If possible, could the sizes and other specifications of these products be stated?

Hi Lance,

Apologies for the late response. We are waiting for a response to your question from out community partners. Your patience is greatly appreciated!

We have our Stakeholder Insights Event this Thursday the 2nd of April from 2-3:15. It is an opportunity for students to ask questions to our community partners directly. If I cannot get an answer to you before then, I can try my best to include it in the Q&A on Thursday.

Kind regards,
Evelyn

Hi Evelyn,
Any updates?

Hi Annie and Lance,

Unfortunately, I do not have this information available. I would recommend looking at other parts of Northern Queensland or even other remote communities in Australia and making informed assumptions based off of what you can find.

In the Community Insights Event the following was asked:
Q: Could you please speak to the current energy systems in place and if they meet the energy demand of the community?

A: Currently, the primary energy accessibility is through the diesel generator, but they also have solar as a subsidiary kind of energy provider based on the last visit. There was also planning for implementing more solar-based energy accessibility. During the dry season, they might increase that capabilities. Previously, there were bush light systems which were installed earlier but none that are currently functioning. We could look at how to utilise those available materials.

Some resources that may be helpful:
– Bushlight Case Study
– AIKO Solar Panels
– Off Grid Solar

Kind regards,
Evelyn
