Description:

In May 2010 MLC Burwood installed a 12.6 kilowatt solar power system. The system was installed by Autonomous Energy and funded under the Federal Government's National Solar Schools Program.

The system comprises of 60 high quality Kyocera KD210GH-2P photovoltaic (PV) modules, each rated at 210 watts for a total system capacity of 12.6kW. The PV modules, also known as solar panels, are installed on specific solar module mounting frames which connect to the rafters of the building to ensure that the system is securely attached.

The PV modules are connected to two SMA SMC6000A inverters which convert the DC power from the PV array to mains compatible 240 volt, 50 hertz AC power. This is then fed into the existing electrical distribution box for the building where it can supply power to the electrical loads running in the building such as lighting and computers. All power produced by the solar power system directly reduces the amount of power that the school needs to bring in from the electricity grid.

The system is expected to generate enough electricity to power approximately four average homes and will mitigate approximately 19 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.
