Fort Knox

Solar rollout over seven locations

Fort Knox Self Storage Melbourne is a leader in self-storage solutions. They have an environmental policy in place to minimise the impact of every Fort Knox storage location. One of their green goals was adding solar panels to their large roof spaces to generate sustainable electricity. Enervest was engaged to design and install solar PV systems in seven different storage locations. The capacity of the system totals 542 kWp and will save 775 tonnes of toxic CO2 emissions per year. They are now powering their self-storage sites and feeding green electricity into the grid.
