case study
Raiden Technologies installed a 13.2kW rooftop solar system on the new 40-place public preschool at Sherwood Grange Public School. The system uses premium Jinko Tiger Neo N-type all-black panels, which deliver strong performance and a clean finish on a brand-new early learning building.
For a new NSW public preschool, a 13.2kW three-phase solar system with N-type panels and a smart meter covers much of the building’s daytime power use. Raiden installed one at Sherwood Grange Public School in Merrylands West.
Raiden supplied and installed a 13.2kW rooftop solar system on the new preschool at Sherwood Grange Public School in Merrylands West. Thirty Jinko Tiger Neo N-type all-black panels feed a Fronius 15kW three-phase inverter, with a Fronius smart meter tracking production and energy use in real time.
The new preschool needed a solar system that would cut its running costs from opening day and could be delivered smoothly within the wider build program. Because the building is new and highly visible to families, the panels had to perform well and look neat, connecting cleanly to a three-phase supply.
Raiden installed 30 Jinko Tiger Neo N-type 440W all-black panels with satin glass on mounting brackets, with all cabling and containment. They connect to a Fronius 15kW three-phase inverter, and a Fronius 63A smart meter gives the school clear, real-time data on solar production and building energy use.

30 × 440W Jinko Tiger Neo all-black panels with satin glass, 13.2kW in total.
Fronius 15kW three-phase inverter, sized for the preschool’s commercial supply.
Fronius 63A three-phase smart meter tracking solar production and building use.
Mounting brackets, cabling and containment installed to specification.
The preschool now runs largely on its own solar power during the hours it’s open, which cuts grid power use and ongoing energy costs. The all-black satin panels sit neatly on the new building, and the smart monitoring gives the school data it can use for sustainability reporting and learning.
Testimonial
““Raiden delivered our preschool solar on time and without disruption to the build. We started saving on power from the day we opened, and the real-time monitoring makes it easy to share our sustainability progress with families.””

Experience with education and government sites, three-phase commercial systems, and delivering on a live construction program to an engineering specification. Raiden delivered Sherwood Grange’s preschool solar as part of the new build.
N-type panels like the Jinko Tiger Neo are more efficient and lose less performance over time than older P-type panels. That means more energy over the system’s life, which suits long-term assets like school buildings.
All-black panels with satin glass have a clean, low-glare look that blends into the roof. They’re a popular choice for new buildings and sites that are highly visible to the community.
Roughly 45–55kWh a day on average, or about 17,000–19,000kWh a year, depending on roof orientation, tilt and shading. Schools use most of their power during the day, so most of it is used on site.
Yes. Batteries can be added later to store excess daytime solar for evening use or backup power. Raiden designs and installs commercial battery systems for schools, aged care and hospitality sites.
