When Castlemaine Secondary College (CSC) won a 20.625kw full installed solar system valued at $26,000 from Origin Energy in 2018, the school made the bold choice to invest in a larger 50kw system in an effort to reduce its operating costs and lower the school’s impact on the environment.
In just under a year this investment has proven to have paid off. The college has managed to reduce their energy bill by around 30 per cent, delivering annual savings of about $13,000-$14,000. See today’s Mail for the full story.
