Kew Golf Club

Kew Golf Club, one of Victoria’s premier golfing destinations, was looking for a cost-effective solar energy solution to reduce its rising electricity costs and lower its carbon footprint. The club partnered with Cyanergy, a leader in commercial solar installations, to develop a customized solar power system tailored to their unique requirements. Glenn, Cyanergy’s expert commercial sales representative, worked closely with the club to ensure the solution aligned with their sustainability goals and financial objectives.

Key Project Details

• System Size: 99.88 kW
• Investment: $108,462.82
• Payback Period: 63 months
• Average Monthly Savings: $1,623.33
• Yearly Bill Before Solar: $52,330.00
• Yearly Bill After Solar: $26,165.00
• Annual Energy Generation: 141.09 MWh

Challenges and Solutions

One of the biggest challenges of this project was the club’s specialized roofing material, consisting of rubber tiles rarely seen in Australia. Glenn and the Cyanergy team took a proactive approach, sourcing a specialized fixing solution from the USA that was compatible with the rubber roof while ensuring full compliance with Australian structural standards. The installation was carefully reviewed and approved by engineers to guarantee safety and longevity.

Additionally, the club had strict requirements for aesthetic appeal. Understanding this need, Glenn and the team opted for Longi All-Black 440W solar panels, which offer a sleek and modern look, paired with a Sungrow 110kW inverter to maximize efficiency and performance.

Outcome

By switching to solar energy, Kew Golf Club has achieved significant financial and environmental benefits. With an annual savings of over $26,165, the club has reduced its electricity bills by 50% while producing clean energy.

This project demonstrates Cyanergy’s expertise in commercial solar power solutions, overcoming installation challenges while delivering a high-performing, visually appealing, and cost-saving solar system.

Thanks to Glenn’s commitment and the Cyanergy team’s innovation, Kew Golf Club is now a sustainable leader in the golf industry.
