Outcomes

BMD completed civil, mechanical and structural works to deliver a 13 mega watt peak solar array (featuring 41,440 solar panels), 1.4 mega watt/5.34 mega watt hours of lithium-ion battery storage, and a smart system controller that when combined, creates a consistent power supply, even during times of cloud cover.
