Belgian Delights is both a wholesaler and retailer of authentic Belgian style couverture chocolates. Over the years as business has grown so too have the running costs with the power bills in particular rising dramatically at their chocolate factory located at Molendinar on the Gold Coast.
In an effort to minimise these business overheads Gold Coast Solar Power Solutions was approached to investigate the viability of a solar power system for the Molendinar chocolate factory.
After inspecting the facility, monitoring the sites power consumption and assessing the businesses power consumption history Gold Coast Solar Power Solutions designed a 32.5kW solar power system as an efficient solution to lower the sites large power bills. The solar proposal was presented to the management team and with the systems estimated Return on Investment (RoI) of just 3.5 years using quality equipment complete with long warranties the decision was made to approve the installation.
Gold Coast Solar Power Solutions supplied and installed 130 x DAQO New Energy 250W solar panels for Belgian Delights connected to 2 x Solar Edge 15kW inverters. Utilising the SolarEdge module level power optimisation and monitoring technology allows both Belgian Delights and Gold Coast Solar Power Solutions to keep a close eye on the performance of the entire system and ensure the very highest yield is achieved from each solar panel installed.
