Media Point goes solar with rooftop system

Trade wide format print business Media Point is now solar powered, having just installed a new 99kw system on its factory roof.

Jamie Xuereb, co-owner of the business said: “Installing solar is part of our commitment to being greener and reducing waste, it is the next logical step in our pursuit of being environmentally better.’’

The 200 panels will provide a significant amount of energy, powering the three large format print systems, which are running double shifts for the Melbourne based business, which services printers around the country.

Xureb said: “Our resell partners need to be confident that we are in it for the long haul, and they can see that we are, by owning our premises and making long term upgrades such as this.

“Our resellers really appreciate that our values for the environment and theirs are tightly aligned. At the end of the day, the end customers who our resellers are servicing need to display their green credentials in a meaningful way. We see ourselves as an extension of their business.”

Xureb said the company is position now to change gears, “and look at our next round of investment for our resellers to be able to sell more to their customers".
