Belmondos Organic Market

Organics With a Side Of Sustainable Energy

Located within Noosa’s industrial precinct, Belmondos Organic Market is an award-winning marketplace specialising in organic food and wellness. This commercial landlord has a multi-tenanted space, which is home to nine businesses involved with food production and retail and includes a butcher, bakery, cafe and commercial kitchen.

With rising electricity prices, Belmondos Organic Market are surprised not to see more solar systems on surrounding roofs in the Industrial Precinct. Belmondos are strong advocates for solar.

Before making the decision to install one of the largest solar systems in Noosa and the largest in Noosa’s industrial precinct, Belmondos conducted almost 12 months of research. To ensure maximum energy efficiency, the 100kW solar system was installed in conjunction with an LED lighting upgrade and power factor correction technology. Power factor refers to efficiency of electricity use within a site. At Belmondos, a Sinexel Static VAR PFC unit was installed and works on a constant correction.

KEY DRIVER FOR INSTALLING SOLAR

The owners of Belmondos Organic Market were driven to power their business space with clean, renewable energy in keeping with the overall philosophy of their business ‘world of wellness’.
