Kimberley Communities Solar Saver

Kimberley Communities Solar Saver is a new way of sharing power that benefits everyone in the community

We are removing community barriers to access renewable energy in remote Kimberley communities. By installing solar panels on some homes in these communities, we are reducing the reliance on diesel generators and helping reduce their power costs.

The following communities are now participating in the program and are benefiting from the energy savings delivered across their entire community after having solar panels installed:

Warmun
Bidyadanga
Ardyaloon
Yungngora
Beagle Bay

Since August 2024, KCSS has delivered more than $160,000 in energy-saving credits to these five communities, with approximately 435 homes already benefiting from the program.

Regions first

Rooftop solar is being installed to homes across remote Kimberely communities.

In Progress

Completed.

Bill savings

Over $450 average household energy savings over 12-months.

Cleaner energy

Less reliance on diesel generators reduces greenhouse gas emissions and provides cleaner, greener power in our remote communities.

Not all homes get solar, but everyone benefits.

Not every location or roof is right for solar. It depends on which way the roof is facing, roof shading, available space and other factors. With Kimberley Communities Solar Saver, it doesn’t matter which rooftops have solar panels. Everyone in the community saves money on their power costs.

Using solar power during the day = more savings and less diesel

Solar systems turn the sun’s rays into power when the sun is shining. Although shared solar won’t completely replace diesel generators, the more power generated and used from the sun means less power needed from diesel generators. This makes it a better, more sustainable power source for our environment.

Using shared solar during the day will help our communities reduce their household power costs.
