Powering Sustainability: Solar Set’s Sponsorship and Commercial Solar Installation at Currumbin Beach SLSC

Local Gold Coast business, Solar Set, recently sponsored the installation of a 23kW commercial solar system at Currumbin Beach Vikings Surf Life Saving Club. This generous contribution demonstrates Solar Set’s commitment to sustainability and community support, showcasing the growing impact of commercial solar on the Gold Coast. The new solar system will help the club achieve both financial savings and operational efficiency, providing much-needed relief during a challenging period of reduced patronage due to ongoing infrastructure works.

Supporting Community with Commercial Solar on the Gold Coast

The new solar installation at Currumbin Beach SLSC is designed to offset energy costs while generating over 33MWh of clean energy annually. By choosing commercial solar, the Gold Coast club will not only reduce its reliance on the grid but also protect itself from rising electricity prices. Solar Set director and Vikings Club member, Kale Fogg said: “We’re pleased to have found a way of supporting the club, not just in the short term, but for many years to come – providing some independence from the grid and protection from rising electricity costs. As a local business and Club member, I’m incredibly proud to showcase our work on this unique site.”

As a leader in commercial solar on the Gold Coast, Solar Set’s expertise ensures that businesses and organisations like the Vikings can harness the power of the sun, benefiting both financially and environmentally.

Reducing Energy Costs to Focus on Life-Saving Efforts

Michael Sullivan, CEO of Currumbin Vikings SLSC, emphasised that the solar sponsorship will help redirect funds from energy bills to vital lifesaving services and equipment. This contribution strengthens the club’s community focus and showcases how commercial solar installations on the Gold Coast can have a broader societal impact.

Solar Set’s Expertise in Designing for Harsh Conditions

The unique oceanside location of Currumbin Beach Vikings SLSC, situated on Elephant Rock, presents some of the harshest environmental conditions on the Gold Coast. Solar Set selected only the highest quality materials to ensure the durability of the solar system. This attention to detail included using Canadian Solar modules, chosen for their ability to withstand high wind loads and pass rigorous salt spray corrosion testing, essential for installations near the coast.

Schletter framing was also used, specifically designed to endure the region’s storm-strength winds and torrential rains. By considering such environmental factors, Solar Set continues to prove its reputation as a leading installer of commercial solar Gold Coast businesses can rely on.

Powering a Sustainable Future for Local Communities

Through this partnership, Solar Set has not only helped Currumbin Beach Vikings SLSC reduce its carbon footprint but also demonstrated the effectiveness of solar energy in supporting vital community services. With more Gold Coast businesses looking to invest in commercial solar, the opportunity for cost savings and environmental benefits is clear.
