Rising energy bills are hitting all Australians hard, but one Sydney company is generating savings through rooftop solar and Solahart inverters.
Located on a 1500-square-metre site in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, ProMinent Fluid Controls is a manufacturer of equipment and systems for chemical fluid metering and monitoring. The company has been in business since 1976 and installed rooftop solar and Solahart SolarEdge inverters in 2019.
The 74.5kW system comprises 216 Qcells 345W PV panels, two 27.6kW SolarEdge inverters and one 10kW SolarEdge inverter. Since its installation, ProMinent Fluid Controls has cut 50 per cent of its annual electricity consumption, saving $27,000 and nine tonnes of carbon emissions per year.
“Working for ProMinent Fluid Controls for the past 24 years, I’ve watched the impressive growth of our business,” says general manager Nick Bohm.
“However, as our sales and product range has increased so have our energy bills.
“To reduce our costs and carbon emissions, we decided to discuss our solar options with Solahart Sydney.
“There’s a wonderful synergy between our business and Solahart. ProMinent Fluid Controls enables Australians to cool down from the summer sun with a dip in the pool, while Solahart harnesses solar energy for power – even heating some of the pools we service.
“Partnering with Solahart Sydney to sustainably power our operations has been the perfect pairing.”
Solahart offers a comprehensive range of smart solar products, including solar water heaters, solar power systems, battery storage systems and Australia’s first solar-smart electric water heater.
