Port Adelaide Football Club were looking for an energy partner to lower their carbon footprint.

“Port Adelaide aspires to become a more sustainable club by reducing our carbon emissions.”

Going solar

AGL led the design and installation of a solar energy system at the Alberton Oval precinct to take their sustainability initiatives up a new level.

Applying a successful solar plan

Our experienced team designed and installed a 99.22 kW solar system for the training and administration centre at the Alberton Oval precinct. This consisted of large 242x 410 W solar panels with 110 kW inverter.

Kicking goals for a sustainable future

The solar system at the Alberton Oval precinct generates around 143 MWh of renewable energy annually. That’s enough energy to power approximately 30 homes in South Australia every year, with an average usage of 4.7 MWh/pa. With a smart solar energy solution, we helped Port Adelaide Football Club to:

  • reduce overall operational costs with an energy efficient solution
  • achieve sustainability goals, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions
  • increase energy self reliance against a constrained electricity supply.

Whatever your energy goals, we'll help find the right solution for your business.
