In December 2014, Infinite Energy was selected by Perth foundry, Dobbie, to supply, engineer, install, and commission an on-site Solar PV System. In order to significantly reduce Dobbie’s annual electricity spend, two objectives needed to be met:
Objective 1: Undertake a two-stage installation of a 100kW Solar PV system to reduce the number of units purchased from the grid.
Objective 2: Switch electricity providers to Infinite Energy to reduce the amount paid per unit of grid-supplied electricity.
Following the overwhelming success and significant savings generated by their Solar PV System, Dobbie commissioned Infinite Energy to expand their system by 100kW in 2017, which brings their total capacity up to 200kW.
