Noumi Ltd (Freedom Foods) – 3.8 MW

The 3.8 MWp solar system for Noumi Ltd was completed in early 2020. This represents a landmark commercial behind the meter solar installation in Australia, which includes an iconic 500kW Tesla battery to supply facility critical loads, in addition to ABB PVS-175 solar inverters. This is the first project with ABB PVS-175 inverters installed in Australia and one of the largest PVS-175 projects globally so far. 2MVA of Voltage Optimisation (VO) was installed with the aim of improving power quality to the UHT operations.
