At Matthew Flinders Anglican College we have partnered with Planet Ark Power to install solar power to reduce our energy costs, reduce our CO2 emissions and provide a more sustainable community for our families, students and staff across the campus.
We selected Planet Ark Power based upon the quality of knowledge and advice provided by them, past experience, testimonials from others, and their unreserved commitment to customer service and outcomes.
At Stage 1 we have installed 80kW of solar at the College and 20kW of solar at the Early Learning Centre. Both of these systems are achieving the outcome that the team at Planet Ark Power team predicted at the design stage. The team at Planet Ark Power are monitoring the system 24/7 and providing feedback to us on the performance to ensure we are on track.
We are currently installing a 75kW system in our Primary School scheduled for completion at the end of April. Stage 2 is expected to be commence in June where a further 198kW of solar will be installed. This will bring a total installation of 373 kW of solar across the campus.
We consider Planet Ark Power to be the leader in their field. Not only are they innovators committed to cleaner energy sources, they are at the cutting edge of information and advice with respect to advancing technologies. We see this project as a long term partnership with them.

The engineering analysis was a large reason why we picked Planet Ark Power over other providers. We felt a lot more confident and it was a lot more detailed. Since commissioning the system to date we’ve actually generated above and beyond that forecasted, so we are very happy and not at all scared of future price rises.

The solutions are successfully reducing our carbon footprint daily, contributing to the health of our communities and resulting in savings on our bottom line.

We are a small business that has recently had solar power installed by Planet Ark Power. We cannot speak highly enough of Tom McVerry and his team during the setup process of our new solar system. Tom’s expert advice, efficiency and professionalism was of a very high standard and he helped make the conversion to solar power extremely simple. Since changing over to Planet Ark Power, we have noticed a significant saving on our power bill, which will save us thousands of dollars in the future. We would not hesitate in recommending other businesses to Tom and his team at Planet Ark Power.

Recently we had the opportunity to have a 15KW solar system installed at our Club. We dealt with Tom McVerry from Planet Ark Power and had funding from the Office of Liquor and Gaming regulation.
From the quotation through to completion of the install the process was professionally handled and we have been very happy with our dealings with Tom and his contractors. We are excited to have this opportunity to not only help generate clean energy but to also reduce the running costs of our club. This will allow us to put the savings back into the club for the benefit of all the members.
I could recommend Tom and Planet Ark Power to any other organisation considering a similar project.
