GoodWe’s Lightweight Panel Empower a Greener Church Against Rising Electricity

Client Name: Rock’s Church- ROCK Brisbane Church

Location: Brisbane, Australia 

System Size: 8.82kW

BIPV Models: Galaxy Ultra

Commissioning Date: July 2023

Background:

As electricity bills have been set to rise by 25% in Queensland starting July 1st, 2023, under new prices set by the Australia’s energy regulator, Brisbane Rock’s Church sought to lower electricity costs by installing a solar photovoltaic system.

Challenge:

The church’s roof, comprising aging tiles, had undergone partial repairs due to leakage issues, making it vulnerable. Ensuring roof’s integrity is a major concern when Rock’s Church considered installing solar panels, especially since traditional solar panels would have required drilling.

Solution:

GoodWe has provided Rock’s Church- ROCK Brisbane Church with a customized energy solution including Galaxy 315W solar panel from its BIPV range, accompanied by the company’s 10kW SDT inverters. Weighing only 5.6kg, the Galaxy 315W solar panel can not only be easily adhered to the roof surface without the need for drilling, but also its ultra-lightweight and frameless surface make it particularly suitable for patio roofs with low load-bearing capacity and poor waterproofing, all while ensuring high power generation efficiency. With the inclusion of 1.6mm ultra-thin glass, the panel offers superior resistance to hail and strong winds, providing durability and safety with all-weather 

protection.
