Reducing Vinnie's carbon footprint

St Vincent de Paul Society

Camberra, ACT

By funding a 40kW solar and 9 kWh battery for the distribution warehouse in Canberra, money spent on electricity can now be spent on the community.

Thanks to donations from the community, St Vincent de Paul Society supports people in need with every day goods like clothing and appliances. The logistics getting donations to where they are needed is not a small feast.  Over 1500 tonnes of goods pass through the 1800 sqm warehouse in Canberra. The energy costs are enormous. This is why a solar and battery system will ensure that funds spent on electricity will instead be able to be used for charitable ativities.
