Project 39 – Tarremah Steiner School, Tas
This project for a 100kW solar installation for Tarremah Steiner School in Tasmania is a rather special project to help them become a model sustainability school, which has enthusiastic support from students and their community. Students are now encouraging other schools to follow suit.
Project story…
Originally funding was to be a joint effort with the school community raising funds to be donated directly to the school solar fund, and CORENA raising funds in tandem to provide an interest-free loan to cover the rest of the cost. However, due to COVID-19 impacts on the school, they were unable to proceed with local fundraising and so the CORENA loan covered the entire amount.
It took only 4 months to raise the $70,000 required for this project, but that was greatly assisted by a higher than usual proportion of loan repayments we received during that time from earlier projects.

* The MWh figure is the amount of grid electricity avoided by solar electricity generation and energy efficiency measures. The Houses figure is number of households that can be powered for a year by that amount of electricity (based on Ausgrid 2019 figures for NSW and Vic residential customers).
This project has been fully funded- Thank you!
