**Sydney, Australia – November 28, 2024** – Sungrow, a global leader in renewable energy, and Smart Commercial Solar, a leading Australian commercial energy solutions provider, announced a partnership to install 3.32 MW of solar power across 32 Opal HealthCare aged care communities nationwide. This initiative aims to address the rising energy costs and grid instability facing the growing aged care sector in Australia.
The project overcomes challenges inherent in equipping aged care facilities with renewable energy, including high upfront costs and complex site-specific considerations. Sungrow’s flexible range of string inverters, ranging from 30kW to 110kW, allowed for a customized approach, matching each building’s energy needs and avoiding the need for costly grid upgrades.
Tom Roche, Project Engineer at Smart Commercial Solar, praised Sungrow’s inverters for their ease of use, excellent support, and professional aesthetic. The partnership leveraged both companies’ expertise to create a financially sustainable and efficient solution for Opal HealthCare.
This collaboration highlights the potential for renewable energy to transform essential services in Australia, particularly within the rapidly expanding aged care sector. Sungrow and Smart Commercial Solar aim to expand their partnership to other industries, furthering the transition towards a net-zero economy.
