Committed to Sustainability
In 2013, WABS participated in the ‘Clean Technology Investment Program’; during that program, we installed a 100kW grid-connect PV solar system onto the paint shed roof. This initiative was fuelled by our desire to reduce our energy usage as a company and utilise natural energy, which is highly accessible in our sunny location. The system was the first of its kind in our area at the time and comprised of six SMA Sunny Tripower STP15000TL-10 solar inverters, a 100kW Phono PV solar array and a GT CEC-3000M Zero Export Controller.
Supporting Our Community
We play an active role in our community; in particular, we provide financial and sponsorship support to local fundraising activities, sporting groups and community organisations.
We are proudly committed to developing a sustainable future for our company and staff by working together with our local community to achieve success in all that we do.
Even though we are based out of Queensland, we can provide services Australia-wide. Reach out to our team today!
