Overview:
We were asked to design an end-to-end energy solution for one of Australia's leading propagation nurseries, Manfield’s Nursery. They were looking to implement a manageable long-term energy solution that aligns with the expansion of their indoor tissue culture facility and forecasted company growth over the coming years.
Our Distinct Approach:
We monitored all switchboards across the nursery and implemented a monitoring suite that allows Mansfield's to manage energy use across the entire property. A total of 300 panels were installed across the site, with battery storage solutions implemented to store excess power and help run their indoor tissue culture, which requires 24/7 lighting and temperature control. All testing, compliance and grid connection was completed and approved by Greenwood.
"It wasn’t just coming and selling us a solar system, they were looking at energy efficiencies across the whole business."
Daniel Mansfield
The Outcome:
It was an investment that saw this large, sophisticated business realise immediate cost savings as they become energy self-reliant (as they have done with other operating expenses, water). Greenwood's custom designed solution has allowed them to not only save money, but run their energy-intensive tissue culture off excess power generated during daylight hours.
