#The Energy Challenge Facing Manufacturing Businesses
The GWS GIANTS operate a high demand sports centre supporting AFL, AFLW, VFL and community programs, alongside an aquatic centre and other energy-intensive facilities.
Over a 12-month period, energy consumption had doubled, driven by the aquatic centre, oval lighting, video board and a HVAC system operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The club needed a commercial solar power solution that could help reduce long-term electricity costs and support its broader renewable energy goals.
Just as importantly, the installation had to work around GIANTS football operations. Deliveries, crane work and installation of the roof solar panels were carefully coordinated to minimise disruption to training, staff and day-to-day activity.
“Our energy consumption has doubled from where it was 12 months ago”
— James Haylan, GIANTS Football Club

#A Commercial Solar Solution Designed Around GWS GIANTS Operations
Sharp EIT Solutions delivered a 139kW commercial solar power system across the GWS GIANTS aquatic centre and administration building.
The project was carefully planned around football training, athlete schedules and daily facility operations, with deliveries, drilling and crane work coordinated to minimise disruption.
The new roof top solar power system also includes real-time monitoring, giving the club visibility over generation, consumption and ongoing system performance.


#Projected Outcomes for the GWS GIANTS
The 139kW commercial solar power system is projected to deliver around $35,000 in electricity savings each year, helping the GWS GIANTS reduce reliance on grid electricity and improve long-term energy efficiency.
The project was delivered smoothly, on time and on budget, while working around GWS football and day-to-day facility operations.
The renewable energy system provides:
- Around $35,000 in projected annual electricity savings
- Reduced reliance on grid electricity
- Real-time monitoring of generation and consumption
- Greater visibility over ongoing system performance
- Reduced environmental footprint
- Long-term renewable energy benefit
