In the heart of Perth, one champion footballer has made a power play that extends far beyond the field. West Coast Eagles legend Dom Sheed recently made headlines, not for his on-field achievements, but for his off-field decision to embrace renewable energy.
Even with existing solar panels on his roof (purchased by the previous homeowner) the 5kW solar system simply did not meet Sheed’s energy needs. Combined with Perth’s scorching summers and chilly winters, Sheed realised that keeping comfortable year-round requires more than just basic energy provisions.
But just like in the Grand Final, Sheed needed to stay cool and think positive. So, he handballed it over to local solar and battery experts, Positive Energy Solutions, to come up with a solution.
The result? A brand-new 10kW solar panel system paired with a robust iStore inverter and 15kWh iStore battery, complete with blackout protection. This upgrade wasn’t just about going green; it was about ensuring uninterrupted power, reducing energy bills, and enhancing comfort all year round.
The impact of this upgrade has been nothing short of remarkable. Sheed’s energy bills are now comfortably covered by his solar and battery system, offering financial savings while reducing his carbon footprint. Beyond the financial benefits, the blackout protection provided by the battery ensures that Sheed is never left in the dark.
For Sheed, the benefits extend beyond financial savings and reliability. The comfort of knowing that his home is powered by clean energy, regardless of external factors like weather or power grid failures, adds a layer of assurance that resonates with many Perth residents.
The final score – Grid Power: 1% / Self-Sufficiency: 99%
Safe to say, Sheed and his wife are now flying high in the comfort of their solar and battery powered home. So, if you’re tired of losing on your electricity bills, take Dom Sheed’s advice:
