Sydney's Superdome's 70 kWp grid-connected PV system EnergyAustralia has begun operation of Australia's biggest rooftop solar power installation on the roof of the new Sydney SuperDome at Hornebush Bay. The 70 kWp installation is connected to EnergyAustralia's main electricity grid and forms a key component of the company's Pure Energy scheme.

EnergyAustralia developed, design and built the rooftop installation, which uses more than 1100 amorphous silicon solar modules and produces about 85 000 kWh of electricity per year.

The firm's Managing Director, Mr. Paul Broad, said the installation was in line with the sustainable energy strategy for the Sydney 2000 Games. Construction of the rooftop solar installation was completed in August, and it was commissioned soon after.
