LED Lighting and Solar Solution for Shopping Centre
Located approximately 20 kilometers north-east of Melbourne’s CBD, Greensborough Plaza is a major shopping centre offering an extensive selection of over 200 retail stores, a diverse dining precinct, and a cinema complex. As a leading hub for the local community for over 40 years, the centre is committed to enhancing the shopping experience and safety for all patrons.
Project Challenge
As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability and customer experience, Greensborough Plaza aimed to reduce its carbon footprint and improve the safety and visibility of its facilities. The centre needed a solution that would not only increase energy efficiency but also provide a more welcoming and secure environment for shoppers, particularly during evening hours.
We value Next Green Group’s renewable energy expertise, as demonstrated through their work on the Greensborough Plaza solar project … Their project coordination and ahead-of-schedule delivery have reinforced our confidence in their capabilities.
Our Solution
Next Green Group delivered an integrated energy solution that included a significant solar installation and a comprehensive LED lighting upgrade for the outdoor car park.
Our team successfully installed a 1MW solar PV system, completing the entire project in just one month. Our proactive approach extended beyond the initial scope, as we identified and seamlessly integrated valuable features designed to enhance the system’s long-term reliability and monitoring capabilities, providing our client with added peace of mind.
In addition to the solar installation, we delivered a full LED lighting upgrade for the outdoor ground-level car park
Our team proactively addressed any challenges encountered during the project, always making it a priority to minimise any impact on the Plaza’s operations. Maintaining excellent communication with site managers and all stakeholders was a key priority, ensuring a transparent and stress-free experience throughout the entire process. We truly viewed this as a partnership, taking the time to understand the Plaza’s specific needs and working closely with their team to achieve their renewable energy goals.
