OpenSolar Plan For Auckland Facilities

PSH can create an OpenSolar portfolio model for Auckland Council facilities, including pools and leisure centres, to compare PV, battery, and resilience opportunities across the city.

What The Plan Includes

• Roof-by-roof solar layouts for each suitable facility.
• Estimated annual solar generation and daytime self-consumption.
• Battery options for peak management and backup circuits.
• Indicative capital cost, avoided electricity cost, and simple payback.
• Priority ranking for pilot sites and staged rollout.
• Integration with pool heating, filtration upgrades, and water collection planning.
• PSH Buddy visibility so every facility can show current plan status, approvals, estimated savings, installed assets, generation data, and next actions.

Data Needed

To build an accurate plan, PSH would request electricity bills, interval data where available, roof plans or aerials, switchboard information, gas use, pool operating hours, and any existing asset renewal plans.

Climate Action Link

Auckland Council's climate action programme already references solar panels on pools and community facilities. An OpenSolar portfolio plan can make those opportunities comparable across sites and easier to prioritise.
