Shepparton RSL Club Solar System Installation

The Manager of the Shepparton RSL club contacted several Solar installers to come up with a solution to their high energy cost, because of the limited roof space the only option was a large-scale solar system to relive the club of some of electricity cost.

After collecting the customers interval data from Powercor and modelling the system around the limited roof space we worked out that a 100kW system was enough to relive the club’s energy cost burden by 30%. The system will save the customer in year 1 roughly $31,000. With a return on investment just over 3.7 years.

This investment for the RSL was an easy decision and with the coordination of the RSL General Manager the job was a seamless installation.

RSL Testimonial from the General Manager Grant Tarrant

“At the Shepparton RSL Sub Branch Inc we recently embarked on a Solar Project, gaining multiple quotations and gathering information to assist the Committee and Management in making an informed decision.

Watters Electrical where awarded the contract and from day one it was a seamless transition from no solar to a fully operational system. Watters Management and staff were a pleasure to work with, contactable at all times and their knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile for us was first class. We look forward to working with Watters Electrical on other projects in the future”
