What the client needed
Rex Gorell Service Centre in South Geelong sought a reliable and cost-efficient way to power its operations while reducing long-term electricity costs and environmental impact. With high daytime energy usage typical of service centres, the business needed a tailored commercial solar system that could deliver consistent output and maximum savings.
Our objectives
Winki Energy’s primary goals for this project centred on delivering a reliable and efficient solar solution tailored to commercial operations. The plan involved designing a 40kW rooftop solar system precisely aligned with the site’s daily energy demands. Structural compatibility and safety were essential considerations, ensuring the system could be securely installed on a commercial-grade roof. The installation was carefully managed to minimise disruptions, allowing the business to continue operating without interruption. Maximising solar output for peak yield and a fast return on investment was also a top priority, aligning performance with long-term financial benefits.
The system we designed & installed
To meet the operational requirements of the business, Winki Energy installed a 40kW solar system using premium high-output panels for optimal performance. A commercial-grade inverter was integrated to regulate energy flow and maintain efficiency across the system. In addition, a smart monitoring platform was deployed, offering real-time visibility into system performance and potential savings. This well-balanced setup delivers stable, clean energy throughout daily business hours—significantly reducing dependence on the grid and improving operational sustainability.
The final outcome
The completed installation now delivers 40kW of solar energy, effectively offsetting a substantial portion of daytime electricity usage. This leads to continuous savings on energy costs while helping reduce the facility’s overall carbon footprint. The rooftop system was designed with a clean, professional aesthetic to complement the business’s layout and infrastructure. As a result, the Rex Gorell Service Centre has taken a meaningful step toward sustainable automotive operations—now powered by a robust, future-ready energy system that supports both environmental responsibility and long-term cost efficiency.
