Australia's Canberra Hospital is adding a 500-kilowatt solar system and installing LED lights throughout all hospital buildings, according to an article on the Canberra Times website
The move to add the system — one of Australia's largest solar rooftop arrays — and install the lights is aimed at cutting the facility's energy use, which accounts for a quarter of the government's electricity bill.
The hospital would become home to one of the top 10 largest roof-mounted arrays in Australia.
The facility's energy consumption is expected to drop by about 721,000 kilowatt hours each year.
