Empowering Recreation with Renewable Energy

Delivering Sustainable Power to a High-Usage Facility

The Northern Beaches Indoor Sports Centre is a hub of activity, requiring consistent and significant energy usage throughout the day and into the evening. Recognising the environmental and financial impact, the centre opted for a tailored solar energy solution.

Our team designed and installed two 30kW solar arrays across the facility’s expansive rooftop. These systems were strategically positioned to maximise sunlight capture throughout the day, significantly lowering daytime grid dependency.

By integrating inverter systems and energy monitoring tools, we enabled real-time visibility into energy production and savings—empowering the facility to monitor performance and adjust operations for optimal efficiency.

Since implementation, the centre has reported a noticeable drop in power bills and an improved environmental footprint, contributing positively to community perception and its long-term sustainability goals.

High Operational Costs Due to Energy Consumption

As a multi-use indoor facility hosting basketball games, community events, and fitness programs, the centre operates long hours daily. The reliance on traditional grid electricity resulted in high and unpredictable utility bills, placing financial strain on operations.

Limited Infrastructure for Energy Monitoring

The centre lacked tools to track its energy usage effectively, making it difficult to identify inefficiencies or monitor peak load times. This limited their ability to make data-driven energy decisions.

Sustainability Goals Without a Clear Path

While the management team was committed to reducing their environmental impact, they struggled to find a cost-effective and impactful solution that aligned with their green objectives.

Roof Space Not Previously Utilised

The facility’s large roof offered untapped potential for solar generation, but no assessments or plans had previously been carried out to explore its viability for solar infrastructure.

Challenges

The Northern Beaches Indoor Sports Centre, a hub for local sporting and community activities, was facing mounting operational challenges due to high electricity costs and outdated energy infrastructure.
With increasing utility bills cutting into operational budgets, the facility needed a long-term, sustainable energy solution that would not only reduce costs but also align with their environmental values.
The lack of real-time monitoring tools and an underutilised rooftop meant that opportunities for improvement were present—but unrealised.
As a high-traffic centre, minimising disruptions during installation was also critical, adding complexity to any proposed energy upgrades.
