PROJECT DETAIL

Objectives & Site Considerations:

The grid supply wasn’t sufficient for the new cellar door and accommodation at Inkwell Wines in South Australia’s McLaren Vale, so a solar and battery system was needed to provide additional capacity. Dr Irina Santiago-Brown is a leading expert in sustainable viticulture, so naturally, this is embedded into everything at Inkwell Wines.

Load Analysis:

Average summer demand: 26.97kWh
Average winter demand: 25.43kWh
Demand surge: 16kW

System Design:

  • REC Solar modules (15.08kW)
  • Fronius Primo 6kW solar inverters
  • BYD BBox LV batteries (25.6kWh)
  • Selectronic SPPro 7.5kW inverter/charger

Project Outcome:

Inkwell Wines’ Sustainable Cellar Door, Luxury Accommodation, and Manager’s Homestead are all powered by a solar and battery system.
