Why did Scenic World in the Blue Mountains use off-grid solar to power their Skyway terminal?

Scenic World in the Blue Mountains has an off-grid installation on the East Skyway site for the Skyway cable car. The previous small system couldn't support a till, drinks stall, and ice cream stand, so we created a larger off-grid system with no additional workspace or infrastructure, providing the necessary energy for these amenities, and avoiding the use of a generator.

Commercial clients are increasingly interested in the environmental benefits of off-grid systems, as well as the financial ones. Scenic World chose to avoid burning fuel by using an off-grid system, which aligns with their objectives.

So a recent installation at Scenic World in the Blue Mountains, they have on the East Skyway site for the Skyway cable car, it's off grid. So they can't get any supply off the grid to that site. So they had a very, very small system, only a handful of panels, running little communications device, and they wanted something beefier so they could sell ice creams and actually sell tickets at that end of the Skyway. We created a off-grid system, and they're running just with no additional workspace, no additional infrastructure. They're running all that additional hardware at the East Skyway end of Scenic World. The energy is running a till so they can sell tickets from there, as well as you know a drinks stall, ice cream stand, that sort of thing, which the existing system it was just way beyond the realms of.

In regards to our commercial clients, the financial benefit is always in the forefront of people's minds, but more and more, we're seeing the environmental benefits of interest as well, particularly with Scenic World. That was one of the core reasons. They could have just stuck a generator on that site and just burnt fuel to do the job. But yeah, that's not in line with what they're trying to achieve either.
