The College recently installed a Solar PV system, comprising 298 panels and generating up to 80 kWh of clean renewable energy. For the first three weeks of March, these panels generated 7,245 kWh of clean renewable solar energy. That is enough power to run your laptop for approx. 362,249 hours!!

Eloise Trice - Environment Prefect 2018
Clean, renewable energy contributes about 16% of Victoria’s electricity production, with solar energy being a big contributor. Around two million Australian homes already have a Solar PV system installed, with the numbers increasing every year. Solar power is clean energy which aids in combating greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions are a concern not only for the College but also for the wider community, in regards to living sustainably. Maintaining a sustainable and environmentally-friendly stance at MLMC is a priority and in my view should be a daily discussion topic. I believe clean energy and solar power should be a major consideration in our local community, and it starts with learning more about it! You can learn more via the link below.
