Cazalys providing shade for our members and solar for the environment

By May 3, 2024Club News

Cazalys has thought long and hard about delivering a must for our Members and guests by providing a Solar shaded carpark option. In the midst of a Far North Queensland Summer, inside a locked car the temperatures can exceed 50 degrees.  There were other factors to take into consideration including, a cyclone rated system, the ability to adapt the design to be energy efficient, EV charging, and providing sustainable and greener energy via Solar for the Cazalys operations.

Cazalys is serious about reducing their carbon footprint, so they have teamed up with a Cairns Company Portagrid Electrical Pty Ltd to install the solar array, which provides the best commercial solution, which is also good for the community and the environment.

The solar array features a bifacial solar panel, where solar can be produced from both sides of a bifacial module, which increases energy generation.  These bifacial panels are more durable because both sides are UV resistant.

Cazalys is excited to be forerunners in this new bifacial sustainable energy and bringing this technology to Cairns, to promote further adoption within the community. We are constantly introducing measures to protect our environment and reduce our costs. Cazalys cares and supports local and regional businesses in the construction of this project.

Cazalys has also installed 4 x EV Charging Stations for our members to charge their vehicles, whilst enjoying what the club has to offer.
