Boodjamulla National Park

Remote Area Power Supply (RAPS) System

The ranger station at Boodjamulla National Park accommodates around seven staff and has workshop facilities for park maintenance. 

Prior to Tropical Energy Solutions’ refurbishment, the site had a 13 year old Remote Area Power Suppply (RAPS) system which was increasingly unreliable due to a selection of aged solar panels. 

Throughout the refurbishment, Tropical Energy Solutions tested the existing solar panels and replaced those that were no longer working, added additional panel arrays, replaced over six tons of batteries, installed a new generator, and extended the existing grid.  

The ranger station now has a reliable power source, which is much more efficient and environmentally sustainable than the previous power system.

Tropical Energy Solutions has since been commissioned to design and deliver an additional 10kWp solar system to power the national park’s office building.
