Sunflower solar power at Byron Bay bluesfest
Solar Power At Byron Bay’s Bluesfest by Energy Matters 1 April 13 Byron Bay Bluesfest’s Lotus Palace sound system is powered by solar panels this year. Called the Sunflower, the 1.2 kilowatt solar power system’s panels are arranged in the shape of flower petal that can be tilted and positioned for optimum orientation to the sun.
The off grid system was created by Southern Cross University’s Doctor Barry Hill and SCU’s Visual Arts technicians and students, who incorporated cutting-edge latest digital audio amplification technology and a lithium battery bank.
“The aim of the project is to show the way sustainable design principles can be promoted within the Australian music industry, as well as promoting best practice in alternative power generation and energy efficient audio-visual technology,” said Dr. Hill.
The Sunflower project is ongoing and will further develop and refine a high efficiency audio visual production system…… http://www.energymatters.com.au/index.php?main_page=news_article&article_id=3664
