Solarmatrix has also been involved
in sophisticated hybrid power projects
for Aboriginal communities, pastoral
farms and eco resorts. In fact, soon
after the company started operations,
the government introduced subsidies
for solar projects. Consequently, in
2008 and 2009 Solarmatrix saw
a sharp increase in the volume of
business.
This Perth-based company has
established itself as the supplier of
choice for commercial solar projects.
Durmus Yildiz, Managing Director,
recounts an assignment Solarmatrix
completed soon after it started
operations, “One of the first projects
was todesigna systemfor anaboriginal
community as more electricity was
required by them in connection with
their proposal to establish a school
with the government’s help.
“In order to get the school approved,
the government needed more
information about the power status
in the immediate area and whether
there was enough electricity to meet
the additional requirement. Our
project was more of a support for
the community to help them out. We
executed the project successfully and
subsequently carried out a number of
other assignments in remote and off-
grid areas.”
