On June 13th Laura from Dunedin Solar came to visit the Senior Syndicate to give us an update on how the system has been performing since its installation.

‍

We gathered together in Rm15 to check out the latest data on our electricity generation and some of the savings that we have been making so far. We are lucky to have a system that is updated in real time. We are able to see exactly what we are using in terms of electricity at anytime of the day! When looking at the graphs on electricity generation we noticed the difference between cloudy days and sunny days. The great news was that even thought we were in the middle of winter, when the sun is out we are still generating electricity!

Laura told us that since the system went live we have saved a good amount of money. The online app tells us that we have almost earned $2000 so far! We have also saved the equivalent of over 22,000km of CO2 that would have come from car travel. That is definitely reducing our carbon footprint!

After the presentation, Lachie and Lyra were interviewed by Dunedin Solar to share their thoughts on why solar was great for our school. They did a fantastic job and shared some really insightful ideas. We are looking forward to seeing the final video of this. Let's keep the sun shining!
