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.”
