New Solar Panel Installations at Gunlake Concrete’s Plants to Reduce Carbon Footprint

Gunlake Concrete, Sydney’s largest independent concrete supplier, announced today the completion of its new solar panel installation project at their city plant at Banksmeadow. The new installation aims to significantly reduce the plant’s carbon footprint by utilising its roof space to generate solar electricity.

The project involved the installation of 193 state-of-the-art solar panels, which are expected to generate up to 80.1 kilowatts of solar energy. The new solar panels will provide a clean and renewable source of energy for the plant, reducing its reliance on traditional fossil fuels.

“We are thrilled to have completed this project and to be able to contribute to the fight against climate change,” said Simon O’Neil, Gunlake’s Managing Director, “This investment demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and our desire to operate in an environmentally responsible manner.”

The Banksmeadow rooftop solar installation is the first Gunlake Concrete Plant to be completed and will soon be followed by the other plants. In total Gunlake will install approximately 223 kilowatts of solar energy across its Sydney concrete business.

The new solar panels will not only help reduce Gunlake Concrete’s carbon emissions but will also result in significant cost savings for the company. The savings generated by the solar panels will assist the company in further developing low-carbon concrete options for customers.

“We believe that it is our responsibility to ensure that we are not only providing high-quality concrete products but also doing our part to protect the environment,” added Mr O’Neil.

Gunlake Concrete is a leading ready-mixed concrete supplier that has been in operation for 15 years. The company is committed to providing its customers with high-quality concrete products while also operating in an environmentally responsible manner.
