Project story…
This large 65kW solar installation was funded partly by Club Italia themselves, assisted by a $42,804 loan from CORENA. Even just the portion our loan funded (44.3kW) made this our biggest project yet, but loan repayments via our revolving fund covered just over half of the loan amount.
See what has been achieved via the CORENA loan to Club Italia Geelong so far
* The MWh figure is the amount of grid electricity avoided by solar electricity generation and energy efficiency measures. The resultant reductions in carbon emissions can be visualised as an equivalent number of average households switching from grid electricity to 100% renewable electricity, noting that the subsequent projects have been avoiding grid electricity for less time than the original project.
This project has been fully funded- Thank you!
