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.
