Seacliff Park Foodland IGA General Manager, Mr Neil Price confirms that Solacoat has taken the heat out of their roof and saved them over 50% of their summer air-conditioning bill.

For instance on a day when the weather was 36°C, the temperature inside the store was so cool that they only needed to operate two of the four air-conditioners.

Canberra Snooze franchisee, Ms Lyn Bendle reduced the number of air-conditioners in use from 11 to 4 on a 33°C day.

Settlement City Shopping Centre Assistant Centre Manager, Owen Moon said that Solacoat was applied to approximately 12% of the roof area producing a saving of about 12-15% of the electricity bill.
