Hi everyone,
Welcome to another issue of the Solar Quotes weekly newsletter - please feel free to forward it on to others.
It's an exciting and busy week for the SolarQuotes team as my book, The Good Solar Guide,
will be officially launched in Adelaide on Friday. Part of the launch involves a
panel of experts debating the topic "Solar Batteries - Silver Bullets or Expensive
Toys?", so I expect we'll publish something on SQ on that after the event.
Learn more about
the guide here or pre-order/download the first
chapter free here.
In other news, the University of the Sunshine Coast will be having a 2.1 MW
solar power system installed along with a giant "water
battery" - and it won't cost the University a cent in up-front costs.
In its ongoing efforts to lift the bar on solar component quality, the Clean
Energy Council is continuing to weed
out sub-par inverters from its Approved Products List.
More on these stories and other news below!
Don't forget you can get 3 solar quotes from trusted solar installers at our website - and everyone can also stay in touch with what's happening on SQ via our Facebook page.
Regards,
