Australia Post installs huge 2.1MW rooftop solar array in Sydney

Australia Post has announced its latest commercial solar investment, this time with a massive installation of more than 2MW of rooftop PV on its Sydney parcel facility in Chullora.
Australia Post has completed a 2.1MW rooftop solar installation
 at the Sydney Parcel Facility in Chullora, a project spanning
 over 11,000 square meters.
The 2.1MW project – one of the biggest single rooftop arrays in the country – was completed last month, and is expected to go live by the end of the year, when it will start saving Australia Post more than $800,000 a year in energy costs.

The $3 million project notches up the organisation’s 49th solar-equipped site, which will soon generate a combined total of 5,000MWh (5GWh) of renewable electricity a year.

Australia Post Group Chief Financial Officer, Janelle Hopkins, said on Monday that the solar panels would directly power the country’s busiest parcel sorting centre.
