South Australia’s City of Playford has recently completed a multi-build solar installation across six key council buildings.
The project is powered by leading global solar manufacturer Trinasolar and local renewable energy service provider Venergy Solar.
It is designed to reduce grid electricity reliance and support sustainability efforts.
The project’s 202kW of installed capacity is expected to provide long-term energy savings while reducing carbon emissions, powering nearby theatres, sports clubs, and car parks.
The solar systems installed across the council buildings will contribute to Playford’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives, aligning with its commitment to clean energy.
Jonathan Roberts, Senior Manager of Asset Operations at the City of Playford, said the project aligns with the Council’s vision for a greener, more sustainable Playford.
“By investing in renewable energy, we are not only reducing costs but also demonstrating environmental leadership that benefits our broader community,” Roberts said.
Venergy Solar managed the installation process, selecting Trinasolar’s high-performance Vertex S+ 500W modules for the project.
“Venergy is proud to have played a role in this project, ensuring high-quality solar solutions were installed efficiently. Trinasolar modules were chosen for their performance, durability, and long-term reliability,” Matthew Wilkins, CEO of Venergy said.
Trinasolar’s Vertex S+ modules incorporate n-type i-TOPCon cell technology, which is designed to enhance energy efficiency and long-term durability.
Edison Zhou, Head of Australia and New Zealand at Trinasolar, said the company is pleased to collaborate with Venergy and the City of Playford to support clean energy generation in critical community infrastructure.
“Our focus remains on providing high-quality, efficient solar technology that contributes to long-term sustainability,” he said.
