  • The technology will provide commercial and industrial property investors with an opportunity to capitalise on their vast underutilised acreages of rooftop real estate.Planet Ark Power featured in The Green List as a breakthrough solar power solution for commercial properties that is both viable, clean and free of voltage issues.
  • Planet Ark Power feature in The Green List as a breakthrough solar power solution for commercial properties that is both viable, clean and free of voltage issues. Until now, large-scale solar power systems are limited to commercial buildings due to the voltage problems caused by sending large tranches of solar electricity back to the grid. Planet Ark Power has developed a new technical solution that is the answer to these ongoing technical issues preventing large scale commercial solar feed-in systems.

Planet Ark Power was featured in The Green List as a breakthrough solar power solution for commercial properties that is both viable, clean and free of voltage issues. Until now, commercial buildings have been unable to install large-scale solar power systems due to the voltage problems caused by sending large tranches of solar electricity back to the grid. Planet Ark Power has developed a new technical solution that is the answer to these ongoing technical issues preventing large scale commercial solar feed-in systems.

The technology uses artificial intelligence to monitor and control voltage onsite in real-time and regulate it within statutory limits. Therefore, any excess energy can be fed safely into the grid and owners of the renewable energy system can then be paid for the excess energy.

Planet Ark Power Executive Director Richard Romanowski is ready to launch the “magic black box” across commercial properties throughout Australia to enable commercial owners to earn income from generating renewable energy on their rooftops and selling it back through the grid. No longer do commercial users need to consume all their power generated themselves or waste excess generation. This new technology allows commercial owners to share their excess energy. It radically improves the return on investment for commercial and industrial-scale solar systems.

The technology has received international accolades in Berlin at the prestigious Start Up Energy Transition Awards, 2019. Businesses in Germany, France and California are showing strong interest along with commercial businesses throughout Australia negotiating current deals between $2 and $5 million worth of rooftop solar assisted with Planet Ark Power’s technology and expertise.

Additionally, Planet Ark Power is proposing an alternate business model where they pay rent to the landlord for roof access. Planet Ark Power then installs a solar system and sells cheap, clean energy to the tenant at a 25% discount. It provides commercial and industrial property investors with an opportunity to capitalise on their underutilised acreages of rooftop real estate.

Forget Startups: Why Magnetic Alliance is Betting on “Boring” Mid-Market Turnarounds

While Australia’s venture capital scene spent years chasing unprofitable tech startups and speculative high-growth plays, Mark Lim was quietly taking a radically different path. The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses. Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]

The asset class where the market has no vote

Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]

The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not

Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
