A Sunny Solution For The Sun Motel
Noosa Sun Motel is positioned alongside the Noosa River at Noosaville. For over 25 years, Noosa Sun Motel has been providing tourist accommodation and features 15 apartments.
“Without any direct control over how guests choose to use air-conditioning and electricity within the accommodation apartments, it made complete sense for the business owners to install a solar system to help reduce electricity costs for the accommodation. Manager Darren Keenan is very happy with the savings and the solar system has already been paid off.”

KEY DRIVER FOR INSTALLING SOLAR
Darren Keenan, manager of the Noosa Sun Motel installed solar to reduce electricity costs. It made sense to have solar installed to run the air-conditioning and lighting for all the guest rooms.
