What the client needed
Woolworths in Echuca required a high-capacity commercial solar system to support its substantial energy usage while lowering operational costs and reducing its environmental impact. The goal was to implement a large-scale rooftop installation that could deliver reliable performance, measurable savings, and support the company’s ongoing sustainability targets.
Our objectives
For this major commercial project, Winki Energy aimed to deliver a high-performing solar solution tailored to the demands of a retail environment. The primary objective was to design a large-scale solar system optimised for heavy commercial energy loads, ensuring long-term efficiency and return on investment. The installation was carefully planned to meet stringent structural and safety standards required for a retail roof setting, maintaining both compliance and durability. Throughout the project, Winki Energy prioritised maximising energy yield and operational performance, while ensuring minimal disruption to day-to-day store operations.
The system we designed & installed
Winki Energy deployed a powerful rooftop solar solution tailored specifically for the Woolworths Echuca site. The custom-engineered 320kW solar system was designed to suit the building’s structure and energy demands, featuring high-efficiency panels strategically arranged for optimal sun exposure and balanced load distribution. A commercial-grade inverter and advanced monitoring system were integrated to provide real-time performance tracking and diagnostics, ensuring reliability and transparency. This large-scale installation plays a key role in supporting sustainable operations by offsetting peak electricity usage and significantly reducing reliance on the grid.
The final outcome
The Woolworths Echuca solar installation delivers 320kW of clean energy generation, significantly reducing daytime reliance on the grid and lowering operational electricity costs. Beyond financial savings, the system contributes meaningfully to corporate sustainability goals and emissions reduction targets. With a clean, efficient, and visually striking rooftop installation, the project reflects a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. This large-scale commercial solar solution showcases Winki Energy’s ability to deliver enterprise-level energy systems with precision, reliability, and long-term performance in mind.
