PROJECT OVERVIEW

Energy savings without interrupting the game.

Broncos Leagues Club has taken another step in its sustainability journey, this time making a visible impact both on the roof and on the bottom line. The newly installed solar system reduces grid reliance, cuts carbon emissions, and demonstrates the Club’s commitment to a cleaner future, all while maintaining uninterrupted operations for members and guests. Delivered in two stages, the project allowed the Club to split capital expenditure, lock in pricing, and prioritise the highest-yield roof areas before expanding to additional sections.

01 / THE CHALLENGES

Trading, approvals and export limits.

Trading, approvals and export limits.

Installing solar at a busy hospitality venue meant balancing technical requirements with operational continuity. Compliance with DNSP limits and meeting protection and metering requirements were central to the project.

Daily club operations

Members and guests needed uninterrupted service.

Network requirements

DNSP limits, protection and metering needed coordination.

Staged commissioning

Export conditions shaped the installation sequence.

THE SYSTEM AT WORK

From site to useful energy

Site assessment

Converts sunlight into clean electricity.

Tailored design

Upgraded infrastructure moves energy safely across the site.

Delivery and care

On-site generation helps reduce reliance on the grid.

02 / THE SOLUTION

Designed to grow in two stages.

Designed to grow in two stages.

DS Energy designed and installed a 174.965 kW system using 365 Astronergy CHSM60M-HC 480W and 475W panels . The two-stage approach delivered flexibility, allowing the Club to target the most productive roof areas first, then expand as planned. All work was completed in line with network requirements, with staged commissioning implemented to meet compliance and export conditions.
