These flagship installations generate clean, 100% renewable solar power with no capital costs, no risk of ownership with the system and no maintenance or repair issues or expenses.
Michael Parker, CEO, Barcoo Shire Council
Ingenero is Australia's leading supplier of roof mounted solar solutions for business, and government organisations.
We have recently completed building Australia's largest roof mounted solar PV system at the University of Queensland, a giant 1.22 MW solar facility.The system was completed in July 2011 and incorporates proven solar technology like 5004 polycrystalline silicon solar panels. It will also provide the university with a significant source of clean green energy and supply invaluable data on the positive effect that embedded solar generators can have within power distribution networks.

Ingenero is one of the providers selected by the Queensland Government to install solar power systems on the roofs of all Queensland state schools. The Queensland Department of Education and Training needed to partner with an organisation that has the ability to manage projects across a wide geographical footprint and a range of diverse installation environments. Ingenero was selected by competitive tender as a preferred supplier to the program where we supply roof mounted solar systems to more than 450 schools in particularly sensitive installation environments. Strong project management skills along with a strict adherence to workplace health and safety standards, has seen Ingenero deliver the projects on time and on budget.

Through Solar Power Purchase Agreements with Ingenero, Barcoo Shire Council has installed four world-class solar power systems on their facilities. Each has been designed, installed, maintained and is owned by Ingenero. The council simply buys the energy generated from the system. Furthermore, by taking advantage of the Queensland Government's net feed-in tariff, the council sells any excess power into the grid. The new solar power installations feature 30kW at the Windorah Cultural Centre and 10kW at the Windorah Sports Centre. With the abundant supply of sunlight within the region, they will generate at least 178kWh per day. At any point in time the council can view the performance of their system by accessing, via the web, the performance data on Ingenero's EcoWatt Online Performance Monitoring. This supply of renewable energy will save approximately 59.04 tonnes of CO2-e of greenhouse gas emissions per year. With another 34kW at Jundah, Barcoo Shire Council now has more than 70kW of solar power being generated off their facilities.
In December 2009, Ingenero was chosen by Woolworths Limited to install solar power systems on the roofs of two Woolworths service stations in the ACT. Both installations were completed by March 2010 and are now online. One installation in Hume ACT uses 30kW of crystalline panels, while the other at Belconnen ACT uses 30kW of thin film panels. The installation are an example of a growing trend towards renewable energy by business and industry, and will allow Woolworths Limited to compare the leading edge technologies commercially available. Solar installations of this kind are relatively new and are predicted to grow in popularity. The ACT is the first jurisdiction in Australia to provide a gross feed-in tariff from solar power systems that extends to businesses like Woolworths Limited, encouraging the uptake of renewable energy in installations up to 30 kilowatts in size.
