Flexible BSolarorroloola Problem Power and Water Corporation (PWC) manage infrastructure across 1.3 million square kilometers of the Northern Territory. Their role includes providing a continuous supply of water and electricity to 72 remote communities, such as Borroloola, a town near the Gulf of Carpentaria. This presents PWC with a unique set of problems: Borroloola A heavy reliance on diesel Borroloola is an extremely Northern Australia is prone to generators, an increasingly remote location, situated extreme weather events, expensive source of energy. 12 hours from Darwin. averaging 2 cyclones a year. Solution A 653 kWp solar system was installed at Borroloola in July of 2018, integrated with existing diesel gen-sets Roughly 25% of the community's power is now produced using solar, significantly reducing running costs to PWC MAVERICK's prefabricated system streamlined and simplified deployment in the remote community, limiting labour time in the harsh conditions The ballasted system has withstood 2 cyclones to date - cyclone Trevor and cyclone Owen with wind gusts in the order of 39 m/s A: 461A-4 E3u Bsotownd eRno aSdtr, eAelet,x Aalnedxrainad, NriSaW, N, S2W01, 52,0 A1u5s, tArualsiatr a l i a E : i n Efo: @[email protected] . a u W : 5 Wb.:c 5obm.c.aoum.au.
