All Hallows Church:
A Case Study in Solar energy upgrades

Overview

All Hallows Catholic Church in Miskin has recently completed a major sustainability milestone. As a modern Roman Catholic parish, the church has successfully integrated a high-standard solar PV and battery storage system into its unique architectural structure.

Project Goals

Carbon footprint reduction: One of the primary goals was to significantly lower the church’s carbon emissions.

Net zero aspirations: The project serves as a practical step toward achieving net zero targets, setting an example for the local communities.

Reducing operational costs: By generating its own electricity, the church aims to drastically reduce its reliance on the grid, lowering monthly utility bills.

Optimising consumption with batteries: The goal of the battery storage is to bridge the gap betwen daytime generation and evening use, which is crucial for a church as many activities happen after sunset. (Mass, Choir practice, community meetings)

System Upgrades

A 47kW PV System consisting of 94 500w panels, a Solax X3 Ultra Hybrid Inverter and 23.2kWh battery storage.

New Solar System: By Numbers

  • CO2 Saved: 8,458kg per year

  • Miles Driven: Equivalent to 29,732 miles on the road

  • Tree Power: Equal to the work of 382 mature trees

Funding & Rationale

The decision to retrofit was driven by the churches commitment to sustainability and long-term energy savings.
