Casey RACE upgrade to ≈ 415kWp
UB Energy was awarded this project early this year and once again was able to showcase its standards of design and installation of an asset that we know will last at least 20 years.
​
How do we know this? Well, firstly, using premium materials: LAPP, Schletter, Trina, Fronius, Staübli, etc. Secondly, designing with consideration of the install and more importantly, the maintenance phase of the system.
​
And finally, our fabled install standards, driven by our very best at site. No inexperienced, unsupervised apprentices ,no cheap labour, just seasoned veterens with an eye for detail and a commitment to meeting the standards that has set us apart for almost 15 years now.
​
Congratulations RACE on a fine asset on your roof.

Microgrid resiliency - Monbulk, Victoria
So pleased to finish this project after some 4 months of a real challenging effort. But the challenge was worth it!
​
Amalgamation of 2 x NMIs, a new Main Switch Board, new underground circuits involving some 140m of boring, a 415A pillar, 200kWh of battery, 100kW of solar and a Selectronic Powerchain system, integrated into a 40 foot container with all associated civil works.
​
This project tested us on many fronts including DNSP requirements for something involving multiple departments.
​
And we delivered, on 31.3.25 in strict adherence with the deadline!

Myuna Farm off-grid system - Doveton, VIC
This is a lovely multi-sector technology design, engineer and construct project encompassing solar PV, energy storage, generator, charge controllers and general electrical installation is nearing completion!
​
— "We really enjoyed peeling away the layers of understanding the customer's usage and modelling the energy profile with a level of accuracy that allowed us to make dependable predictions and match the best and most cost-effective renewable-energy technology platform to meet the customer's needs."

1.3MWp ground-mount solar farm, South Australia.
In January 2023, UB Energy was selected for this project due to its team’s ability to understand on-the-ground installation challenges and ensure a high-quality practical outcome in strict conformity with the multitude of standards prevalent in Australia..
The system comprises two sub systems of approximately 211 and 1,100kWp respectively paired with Fronius Tauro inverters and a Schletter GmbH ground-mount framing system.
​
The design involved consultancy on the new 2000A and 3200A switchboards that form part of the overall installation as well as an assessment of the load profiles to establish the best spread of the PV asset.
​
A lightning protection study was also carried out to ensure full compliance with AS1768.
​
Delivery of this project is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024.
Thermographical inspection of switchboards
Glyde Metal Industries engaged the serivces of UB Energy to carry ​
out a thermographical inspection of all their switchboards installed at their factory in Dandenong, Victoria. The exercise helped establish ‘weak’ components, and areas of concern.
​
— "This was an interesting assignment that allowed us to demonstrate our skills in evaluating the thermograms of switchboards under live, working conditions."
