Project Breakdown

The Rocks, an iconic 12-level residential apartment block located on Currumbin’s beachfront has recently been equipped with a 39.6kW solar system. Our design and installation utilized SolarEdge inverters and power optimizers to address challenges posed by roof obstructions and to maximize energy production.

Challenges:

Roof Obstructions: The building’s rooftop featured various obstructions that limited the available space for solar panels and introduced potential shading issues.
Space Constraints: Maximizing the PV system’s capacity within the limited and irregular rooftop area required a flexible and efficient solution.

Solution: To overcome these challenges, the following components were selected:

SolarEdge Inverters and Power Optimizers: By integrating power optimizers with each solar module, the system ensures that each panel operates at its maximum efficiency, independent of others. This configuration mitigates the impact of shading and obstructions, enhancing overall energy yield.

Benefits:

Enhanced Energy Production: Module-level optimization allows for increased energy harvest, even in partially shaded conditions, ensuring higher overall system performance.
Improved Safety: The SolarEdge SafeDC feature reduces DC voltage to a safe level when the inverter or grid power is shut down, enhancing safety during maintenance or emergencies.
Advanced Monitoring: Real-time, module-level monitoring enables precise performance tracking and swift identification of any issues, facilitating proactive maintenance and ensuring optimal system uptime.

The implementation of the 39.6kW SolarEdge PV system on the Currumbin beachfront apartment block demonstrates how advanced inverter and optimizer technology can effectively address installation challenges posed by roof obstructions and space constraints. This approach not only maximizes energy production but also ensures enhanced safety and monitoring capabilities, providing long-term benefits to the residents and strata management.
