Kilmore Leisure Centre transforms energy use with solar panels

Mitchell Shire Council has advised that it has installed a solar panel system at the Kilmore Leisure Centre aimed at transforming how the centre powers its operations.

The 61.6kW solar system, comprising 112 JA Solar panels, each rated at 550W, is installed on the rooftop. This state-of-the-art setup, monitored by Solar Analytics, will track electricity generation and consumption, ensuring cost savings and optimal energy use.

By harnessing solar power, the Centre will benefit from significant cost savings on electricity usage, drawing from the grid only when necessary.

Part of Council’s capital works program, this project aligns with Mitchell Shire Council’s Climate Emergency Action Plan, demonstrating our commitment to reduce emissions and build resilience to climate change.
