## Who We’re Powering

- **Estimated Offset of Onsite Usage:** 70%
- **Estimated Feed-in to Grid:** 30%

## Financial & Environmental Benefits

### Metric Estimated Annual Impact

These savings from this system will directly support YAPS’ mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals across the region.

## Exceeding Expectations

The tailored 11.47 kW solar solution was designed to maximise daytime generation and self-consumption, delivering both economic and environmental value. The system performance is monitored in real time, offering transparency, confidence, and education opportunities for students and staff.

## Client Testimonial

“Installing solar with RESINC Solar & Batteries has been a game-changer for us. Not only are we reducing our power bills, but we’re also doing the right thing for the environment. Every dollar we save goes back into caring for the animals. The commercial team was professional, supportive, and truly understood our values. I can not recommend the commercial team at RESINC enough.”
— Margaret Cochrane — Young Animal Protection Society (YAPS)

## A Legacy of Sustainability

This installation is more than just a financial win—it’s a testament to how not-for-profit organisations can lead by example in sustainability. By partnering with RESINC Solar & Batteries, YAPS is now harnessing the power of the sun to power their operations and protect what matters most.
