FIMER Supplies PVS-100 Inverter to Australian Brewery

Environmental sustainability is a core value for Moon Dog Brewing, an independent Australian craft brewery based out of Melbourne. So, when the company opened its new brewery, exploring ways to reduce its carbon footprint was key.

FIMER will be helping Moon Dog Brewing with its PVS-100 inverter, thereby saving 240 tonnes of carbon dioxide emission each year from the plant.

Commenting on the development, Jason Venning, Country Manager for FIMER, Australia and New Zealand said, “We are proud to have played a key role in helping this brewery reduce their carbon emissions and lower operating costs for years to come. This is a great example of how FIMER’s PVS-100 high-powered string inverter, through its dual-stage topology, enables greater energy production and saves businesses more money over the lifetime of the system, thus enabling a faster return on investment.”

The Moon Dog team selected Energis, a leading residential and commercial energy solutions company, to design a solar system that would reduce their reliance on using energy from the grid and lower their energy costs. Energis designed, installed, and commissioned a 99.85 kW rooftop mounted solar system utilizing 317 solar panels powered by FIMER’s PVS-100 inverter.

On using FIMER’s technology, Raman Chhabra, Director of Energis said, “We chose FIMER for this installation because their inverters have a good track record in terms of reliability, technical support, and energy production, in both commercial and residential projects. The PVS-100 was also especially suited for the string sizing and other site-specific requirements for this project.”

Apart from it, the addition of Aurora Vision, FIMER’s monitoring solution, allows Karl Van Buuren, Moon Dog Co-Founder, and the rest of the team to monitor the brewery's entire solar plant remotely, yet another advantage of choosing the company as its partner.
