Past Projects

Since 1999, Driftwind Electrical have helped many businesses across South East Queensland reduce or eliminate their power bills!
Below are a few examples of commercial installations we have done.

Driftwind Electrical completed a 96kW solar installation for Lifestyle Blinds and Shutters at Yatala. To overhaul their large energy bills and to complement the solar installation, LED Lighting and a Power Factor Correction Unit were also installed to gain maximum benefit from the solar system installed.

Cost Savings - Solar
96kW system Estimated Saving $42,048.00 P.A. based on current tariff at time of install. Producing 175,200kW of electricity annually and Co2 reduction of 195,700kG

Cost Savings - Lighting
Estimated saving of 21% P.A or $29,210.00

Cost Savings - PFC
PFC below 50% ROI
Reducing their power bill by over $6,100 every year

For that bill as an example, it would mean that the Peak Demand would reduce to 156kVA @ $21.859/kVA = $3,410.00.

This represents a monthly saving of $515.88 or $6,190.56 p.a.
Cost would be around $13.5k, showing a payback period of approximately 2 years

Completed October 2017
