The six ChargePoints are spread over the
central/east parts of the island.
After the ceremony most of those in
attendance took a short walk to view the solar arrays.
The four independent solar arrays are on
the airport grounds and only a short distance from the main
airport building. Peak capacity is 50kW. There is another 5kW
of panels on the roof of the KI Council Chambers in Kingscote.

The two axis rotating/tilting tracking
mechanism allows a 30% increase of power received as the
arrays follow the sun.
