131 kWp / 142.5 kVA SOLAR PV ROOFTOP SYSTEM
Perdaman Advanced Energy (PAE) was awarded the tender in July 2025 to design, supply, and install rooftop solar PV systems across seven sites for the City of Nedlands. This large-scale initiative aimed to enhance the City’s renewable energy capacity while supporting its long-term sustainability objectives. The project delivered a combined system capacity of 131 kW / 142.5 kVA, utilizing high- efficiency 500 W Trina Solar panels paired with Fronius inverters to ensure reliable performance and optimal energy generation.
Each site presented unique requirements and challenges, requiring PAE to deliver customized design and installation solutions. Some sites involved replacing outdated systems, while others required expansion of existing capacity or the design and implementation of entirely new installations. Each system was purpose-built to suit the specific operational and structural needs of the facility.
During Installation, the project encompassed a variety of roof types, necessitating different mounting strategies. Non-invasive Klip-Lok mounting systems were used on existing metal roofs to avoid roof penetrations, while specialized techniques were applied to tile roofs to maintain structural integrity and prevent damage. To provide the City with accurate performance insights and simplified long-term management, Fronius Smart Meters were installed across all sites and integrated with the Fronius SolarWeb platform. This enables real-time monitoring of both energy generation and consumption, empowering the client to track system performance and optimize energy use effectively.
This project demonstrates PAE’s capability to successfully deliver complex, multi-site solar solutions with a strong focus on safety, compliance, and high-quality design. By tailoring each installation to the site’s specific requirements, PAE has helped the City of Nedlands improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and take a significant step toward its sustainability and climate action goals.
