Coolsheet is installing its first commercial-scale Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) system at the North Sydney Olympic Pool, with support from Capral Aluminium. This system captures solar energy for both electricity and heat, improving efficiency and extending solar panel life.

The installation features 206 solar panels, generating around 114 kilowatt-electric and two to three times that in thermal output, supporting over three million litres of water in five pools. This aligns with North Sydney Council's goal of carbon neutrality by 2035. The project emphasizes local collaboration and aims to demonstrate the potential for renewable heat in various sectors.
