Project Overview

Parkes Shire Council engaged Grid Electrics Group to design, engineer, and deliver a 1MW ground mount solar farm integrated with a 500kWh battery storage system. Located on Eugowra Road, this flagship renewable energy project was developed as part of the Council’s broader commitment to Net Zero goals and long-term energy cost reduction.

The solar farm now acts as a clean energy power station, supplying consistent, sustainable power to Council assets while enhancing energy independence and grid resilience.

Project Highlights
  • Integrated Solar + Storage Solution
    Combining 1MW of solar capacity with a 500kWh Sungrow battery, the system ensures both daytime generation and night-time/disruption backup — maximising self-consumption and reducing reliance on grid power.

  • Premium System Components
    The project utilises Trina Solar panels for high-output performance, Fronius inverters for precision power conversion, and Sungrow battery technology for safe, long-duration energy storage — all configured to deliver seamless system synergy.

  • Engineered for Reliability and Impact
    The site was fully designed, installed, and commissioned within a 12-month period. From ground works and racking to electrical integration and SCADA monitoring, the farm was built to commercial-grade standards with minimal disruption to local services.

 
Outcomes and Benefits
  • Annual Savings: Up to $541,517.64 per year in electricity costs

  • Carbon Offset: Estimated 800+ tonnes CO₂ avoided annually

  • Peak Load Reduction: Battery reduces demand charges and enhances energy security

  • Council Sustainability Target: Strong step toward Parkes Shire’s clean energy strategy

  • Community Legacy: Local job creation and energy infrastructure investment

 

The Eugowra Road Solar Farm is more than just a renewable energy project — it’s a blueprint for how local governments can take control of their energy future. Through this successful delivery, Grid Electrics Group has reinforced its position as a trusted partner for councils driving toward decarbonisation, energy security, and community resilience.
