6. Solar Market Overview 2015 on target for 800MW
Re-opening of the 100+kW market
25% of the market is now in the Commercial Sector
Power prices are now a political talking point
Tesla announced modular battery Most people now see grid-defection as an option.
3 Major Energy Retailers have doubled down on Solar. (AGL, Origin and Energy Australia)

7. Adoption Rates by Industry
Wineries account for more than 5% of large scale systems (>100kW) including:
Tyrells – Pokolbin 350 kWp
De Bortolli – Bilbul 230 kWp
Siromet Wines 200 kWp
d'Arenberg Winery 200 kWp
Peter Lehmann Wines 130 kWp
Kamberra Winery

8. System Type: Roof Mount
Barossa Vintners – 90kWp
Best use of space.
Most cost effective.
Utilises existing structure which assists with the costing.

9. System Type: Roof Mount
De Bortolli – Bilbul – 230kWp
East-West benefits for load profiling.

10. System Type: Ground Mount
Tyrell’s – Pokolbin – 350 kWp
Additional Cost of structures
Cost to put power to the field.

11. System Type: Floating Image Coutesy: Wines & Vines
Additional environmental benefits.
Power near pumping applications
Keeping water cooler & cleaner – Less algae
Efficient use of space.
Most common use of power in the field is irrigation.

12. Sources of Consumption
How, when and where are you using your energy?
You need to know your operation
Main areas of consumption include:
Refrigeration & Tank Storage
Pumping
Compressors
Hot water
HVAC – Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning
Lighting

13. Solar Generation Profile
Explanation of the production curve
Avoiding export – keeping power under loading

14. Understanding Usage On the same day by Load:
Meter by meter usage (circuits)
Commercial vs domestic profiles

15. Load Profiling
Very different seasonal usage.

16. Storage & Battery Technologies
Prices to come down aggressively
AEMO Predictions
Picture of Powerwall
Cost decline.
Commercial application to lag by 3-4 years – per PV market

17. Discretionary Loads & Automation
Once we understand our loads, we can use them to advantage.
Motors can be ramped up an down on discretionary loads to utilize additional solar
Understanding tariff structures, automation can allow certain tasks to be managed in solar peaks or grid off-peaks to reduce cost.
PLC’s can communicate with Inverter Systems and Energy meters to make smart decisions.
Understanding loads allows scheduling
This also allows utilization of tariffs.

18. Alternate Storage Tanks are far cheaper than batteries
Gravity pressure can feed irrigation fields during off-peak/non-sun hours
Alternate storage methods.
Thermal storage
Water Storage

19. Solar Pumping INVERTER PUMP AC DRIVE Ability to switch modes.
Avoids powerline – can run on Generator
Over use simply leads to tank overflow & re-circulation.

20. Project Funding Options
In order of cost effectiveness:
Outright Purchase Best bang-for-buck. Simple. All savings start day 1. Project ROI’s regularly exceed 20%.
Commercial Lease Interest rates for business are now quite competitive. Generally speaking, financing will add 2 years to the payback. Still own the system at the end.
Operating Lease Usually pegged to the system output. Similar to the PPA but with the balloon payment option.
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) 3rd Part Ownership. The installer/operator will own the hardware and charge for power. Long term agreement. Favoured by power companies to keep you on contract.
