                     SOLAR POWERED SCHOOLS – WELCOME TO THE 
FUTURE
BRACKEN RIDGE STATE 
HIGH  SCHOOL TRIALED THE 
NEW
TECHNOLOGY, DEVELOPED BY A 
COMPANY CALLED HIVVE, 
FOR 5
MONTHS LAST YEAR WHICH 
RELIES  ON ROOFTOP SOLAR 
PANELS AND A  TESLA 
POWERWALL BATTERY
SYSTEM.
Wrench estimated that this classroom alone would 
save the  school $3,000 a year on their electricity 
bill. Perhaps  surprisingly, the cost of installing 
NOT ONLY WAS THE Commercial Solar
 Solutions or solar power system was cheaper than if
TRIAL A SUCCESS IN  they  had connected to the grid.
However, the trial was made possible thanks to a 
 ENERGY $370,000  grant from the Australian Renewable 
Energy Agency  (ARENA). ARENA and Hivve are 
PRODUCTION working in close  collaboration to try and change 
A A the norm by delivering  sustainable solutions to the BUT IT LSO S VED varying troubles within the  Australian schooling 
THE infrastructure. This will no doubt  require a little bit 
more support from the Australian  government.

IT’S HAPPENING IN NSW AS 
WELL
St Christopher’s Catholic Primary School in 
Holsworthy and  Dapto High School were also 
among the first to trial the  classrooms. They are 
currently in operation and will be  evaluated as the 
year comes to a close.
The trend seems to be moving south too. Amity 
College in  Illawarra, after being shocked at the cost 
of connecting to the  grid to power their new campus, 
approached Hivve to see if  they could work on 
something together. The result, as of only  term 3 this 
year (yes, 2019)! It is an entire campus that  
operates on high quality solar.
The clean energy system is called A BIT ABOUT THE HIVVE 
Hivve iQ  and can be integrated into 
any school  building. The company SYSTEM
was started with the  desire to create 
learning spaces with  teachers and ARKANA 
students in mind, as the  research ENERGY
shows how influential the  classroom 
environment impacts learning.
Hivve classrooms are not only 
completely  off-grid, but they also 
have real-time  energy metering, CO2 
metering, data  capture, and 
communications. Hivve iQ not  only 
monitors energy use, but the  
classroom’s air quality is also 
measured and  regulated.
