Duncraig Medical Centre is situated in a northern suburb in the sunny city of Perth, capital of Western Australia. Regen Power was approached by the medical centre to perform an energy reduction review and to highlight the costs and benefits associated with investing on a rooftop solar power electricity generation system.
The medical centre is open for 7 days a week and thus ideally suited for rooftop solar photovoltaic power generation. Prior to the installation of the solar power system, Regen monitored the energy consumption for a couple of weeks. Power consumption during a typical Sunday and Monday in the summer month of February is shown in Fig.
