Rathdowne Solstice: Partnering Villawood Properties to build a more Sustainable Future

Imagine a community powered by clean energy, where residents actively contribute to a greener tomorrow. That’s the reality we helped create at Rathdowne Solstice, a groundbreaking development by our trusted partner, Villawood Properties. As their EPCM partner (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Management), ASENO played a pivotal role in delivering a state-of-the-art community microgrid solution.

A Collaborative Vision for Sustainability

Villawood Properties sought a partner who could deliver a comprehensive clean energy solution for Rathdowne Solstice. We were a perfect match. By leveraging our expertise in microgrid design and implementation, we collaborated closely with Villawood to create a sustainable future for residents.

The Heart of the System: A Powerful Microgrid

The centrepiece of Rathdowne Solstice is a robust microgrid system.

A 70.3 kW Solar Array: This solar powerhouse generates clean energy to meet the community’s needs, reducing reliance on traditional power sources.
A 100 kW/275 kWh Battery Energy Storage System: Excess solar energy is stored in this high-capacity battery, ensuring a reliable power source even during outages.

Empowering Residents: Shared Solar and Community Battery

Taking sustainability a step further, we equipped 36 townhouses with individual, smaller solar systems. These systems connect directly to the community battery, creating a collaborative energy ecosystem. Surplus energy generated by individual homes can be stored in the community battery, then shared amongst neighbours. This innovative approach fosters a spirit of community coupled with environmental responsibility.
