Vertical solar to reduce apartment costs

An apartment building in Melbourne has become the first in Australia to be fitted with vertical solar panels, according to the company which helped to install them.

The 87 lightweight panels installed onto the façade of Docklands’ Harbour One are expected to power the equivalent of 11 apartments per year, offset 27,000 tonnes of carbon and save the residents $6000 in annual running costs, Winconnect says.
