SUCCESS STORY MONASH UNIVERSITY PENINSULA CAMPUS Frankston, Victoria, Australia GREEN ENERGY FOR A GENERATION OF STUDENTS As one of the world’s leading universities, Monash is dedicated to reducing the organisation’s environmental footprint. As a result they have invested significant resources into improving the overall sustainability of the university. This has been achieved through a mixture of energy efficiency, behavioural change and renewable energy installations. In July 2013, the University engaged EnviroGroup to install a 135kW solar system using Yingli’s high efficiency 250W multicrystalline panels on their Peninsula Campus Library. A great deal of planning went into the system design and installation, which focused particularly on the layout of the PV system to minimize shading and maximize production throughout the whole year, as well as timing the installation within university holidays. Yingli’s multicrystalline panels were chosen because of their proven ability to produce ongoing high energy yields under the harsh conditions of the Australian climate, including at high temperatures. The system will produce a nominal annual energy yield of 170MWh which is enough to power approximately 30 homes for a year.

GREEN ENERGY FOR A GENERATION OF STUDENTSAs one of the world’s leading universities, Monash is dedicated to reducing the organisation’s environmental footprint.

In July 2013, the University engaged EnviroGroup to install a 135kW solar system using Yingli’s high effi ciency 250W multicrystalline panels on their Peninsula Campus Library.

• One of Victoria’s largest PV installations and the largest PV system connect to the United Energy distribution network (as at August 2013)
• Visible evidence that the university is making progress to implement its Environmental Sustainability policy
• Carefully planned and managed installation process was completed by EnviroGroup in less than 30 days
• Proven long-term performance of Yingli multicystalline panels ensures ongoing high energy yields
KEY BENEFITS OF THE SYSTEM
Monash University is striving to lead the community towards a more sustainable environment by achieving high level environmental objectives and targets. EnviroGroup are proud to have installed a state of the art solar system that will play a major role in reducing the university’s carbon emissions and reducing electricity bills. We recommended Yingli’s multicrystalline panels because of their high quality manufacturing and their long-term performance under harsh Australian conditions.
