RICHMOND FOOTBALL CLUB KICKS CARBON EMISSIONS
As one of the first AFL clubs to go green, the Tigers are proud of their decision to install solar and the example they are setting for the broader community. The elite sports facility, housing a high- performance training gym, treatment and recovery clinic, education, workplace and retail spaces, has an extremely large base load, most of which is consumed during the day.
To achieve maximum yield and performance for the system, Metro Solar utilised Yingli Solar’s high- efficiency polycrystalline panels with the Enphase Microinverter system to produce the highest energy utilisation for the club.
The solar system is part of a broader effort by the Tigers to make their 170-year-old training headquarters eco-friendly, and they are now considering ways they can promote renewable energy to the broader community through the example they have set.
