Flexible SolarBorroloola
Simpler, Faster, Smarter
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
Borroloola
Borroloola is an extremelyremote location, situated
12 hours from Darwin.
Power and Water Corporation (PWC) manage infrastructure across 1.3 million square kilometers of theNorthern Territory. Their role includes providing a continuous supply of water and electricity to 72 remotecommunities, such as Borroloola, a town near the Gulf of Carpentaria. This presents PWC with a unique set ofproblems:
A heavy reliance on dieselgenerators, an increasingly
expensive source of energy.
Northern Australia is prone toextreme weather events,
averaging 2 cyclones a year.
