Ergon Energy contracts SunPower–Sunverge to install solar systems

Ergon Energy, a Queensland, Australia, -based utility, has contracted SunPower with Sunverge to supply 33 storage-integrated photovoltaic solar power systems. The systems are to be installed at homes of Ergon consumers.

According to Ergon Energy, it is the utility’s first residential solar and storage project. And it chose SunPower with Sunverge’s storage systems for the demand management features they possess. These systems will allow stored power to be redirected into the grid.

Australian Renewable Energy Agency has contributed AUD 400,000 toward Ergon’s initiative.

Ergon will distribute the SunPower–Sunverge systems in Toowoomba, Townsville and Cannonvale. And all the systems are expected to be installed and become operational by end of this year.
