Autonomous Energy completed the design and installation of a premium quality solar power system at Barker College in Hornsby, Sydney. The system is located on the roof of Barker’s Science Centre.
Autonomous Energy has worked with well over 100 independent schools across the country to deliver turnkey energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, dramatically reducing the schools' energy bills and carbon footprints.
The installation of this solar power system at Barker College is the most recent project we have delivered at Barker since we started working together to reduce their energy consumption in 2011.
Autonomous Energy solution
- This super high efficiency system utilises high performing solar modules – the 315w LG NeON™ which has a total module efficiency of 19.2%. The LG NeON™ modules - with their double-sided cells and CELLO technology - absorb light from the front and the back of the cell.
- These high quality, high efficiency panels come with a 25 year product warranty.
- This technology sets a new standard for innovation and was recognised with the 2015 Photovoltaic Innovation Award at the Intersolar Industry Event in Germany. For full technical specs on the innovative LG NeON™ technology please click here.
- These panels were coupled with three phase transformerless inverter technology manufactured in Germany by SMA.
- All solar engineering and installation works were performed by Autonomous Energy’s in-house teams with no subcontracting. This approach facilitates the most effective quality and safety management possible.
- Autonomous Energy also installed and configured a fully functional online solar data monitoring system for the Barker College solar power system that enables staff, students and the school community to observe the performance of this innovative system.

What Barker College says
-
Autonomous Energy have provided Barker College with timely advice on the options available on what to install, how it works and what suits the School the best for our situation. They listened to what we wanted and developed a solution from there. They did not try and force a pre-developed plan to our situation. We appreciated that. They have been excellent to work with and I would recommend them to others looking to install a Solar power system at their school.
