Our project in the beautiful hinterland suburb of Yandina 4561 is one of many projects we have completed with Fernland Agencies. This extensive project started in 2017 when Fernland Agencies needed a quality renewable energy solution for their business which had just started. In 2022 when their business expanded and required more energy, so did the solar system and in 2024 we installed another 59.84KW on their new premises next door, bringing the total system size to an impressive 99.36KW. The system installed utilises a combination of premium Fronius inverters, Longi solar panels, and Clenergy racking.
High-Efficiency Solar Installations in Yandina
Fernland Agencies, a company we have been working with since 2017 when they installed a 39.52kW system to meet a large portion of their daytime energy needs. Since then, our business has continued to grow, just like Fernland.Evolution of the Solar System:
2017: Initial installation of a 39.52kW solar system.
2022: An additional 20kW system was installed on their new commercial premises next door.
2024: Expanded the initial 2017 site by an additional 59.84KW, bringing the total capacity to
99.36KW of solar power
Key Components at Fernland Agencies:
Fronius Inverters: These super-efficient, industrial-strength inverters are suitable for large commercial installations.
Longi Solar Panels: Environment-friendly energy for your projects. Known for its reliability and high energy conversion rate, it is the first choice for your green energy.
Clenergy Racking System: Provides a robust and flexible framework for securely mounting solar panels.
Strategic Installation and System Integration
The real challenge, and one of the few unique aspects of this project, was that the solar panels needed to be linked to an existing system. In terms of physical installation, because of the large footprint and roof accessibility of these commercial buildings, the installation itself required extreme attention to detail. We had to work closely with Fronius on the configuration of the multiple inverters that we were using to run the system, and also the grid protection relays to comply with Energex (the Queensland electricity distribution company) regulations for any systems over 100kW.Unmatched Energy and Cost Savings
The 99.36KW solar system at Fernland Agencies aims to generate over 163.2MWh annually to meet 100% of the company’s energy demand. The impressive energy efficiency exhibited by Fernland Agencies project is a testament to the promise of financial viability and environmental worth of large scale solar solutions. Reduced energy cost presents a win-win opportunity for Fernland Agencies as savings can be channelled to other important operational sectors, thus leading to increased profitability. A combination of Fronius inverters and Longi solar panels deployed in the system is the perfect recipe for the highest ratios of energy conversion efficiency to convert every single sunlight ray to eusable electric current.
Eliminating much of our dependency on grid electricity reduces carbon emissions and therefore leads to a greener, more sustainable future. Studies have shown that homes, businesses and farms with solar installations increase the value of their properties, making this a smart, long term investment. Energy-intensive businesses such as Fernland Agencies are able to provide themselves with a more secure and stable environment to operate in by generating their own electricity. They can minimise the impact of fluctuating energy prices and become more energy independent, even in times of higher energy costs.
A Legacy of Solar Excellence in Yandina
We have been dealing with the Parsons family who own Fernland Agencies long before 2012 when a number of them installed solar to make the most of the Queensland government solar bonus scheme. Since then, we have gone on to install systems for three generations of their family and their businesses, which is testimony to the long-term satisfaction and trust they have in our services.
At Uni-Industries we’re ready to design solar solutions according to your needs, and our solar installation experts can work with you to help maximise your return-on-investment.
