Iconic Projects

Why are iconic projects part of Alice Solar City?

Alice Solar City has supported and encouraged the development of major “iconic” projects in and around Alice Springs that will play a critical part in our strategy of making Alice Springs a national and international showcase for sustainable living and the use of renewable energy.

What iconic projects have been developed and what technology do they use?

These projects showcase large scale renewable energy technologies, including a variety of cutting edge solar photovoltaic concentrator and solar thermal technologies. The projects include:

1. A large flat plate solar system at Crowne Plaza Alice Springs

2. Uterne solar power station

3. Solar project at Alice Springs Airport

4. A solar air-conditioning system at the Araluen Cultural Centre 

5. A large solar water heating project for the new Alice Springs Aquatic and Leisure Centre
