Hi everyone,
Ronald, Jono and I were at the Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition in
Sydney last week - you can check out our quick-and-dirty, on-the-road vodcast covering
our first day here.
Speaking of vodcasts, episode 11 of the SolarQuotes vodcast was released last
night. Among the topics covered was an instance of some rather sneaky battery
advertising by the South Australian Government. View
episode 11 here.
Ronald has taken an in-depth look at Hyundai solar panels and the company
that manufactures them - Hyundai Green Energy - check
out his review here.
What the heck is a "smart inverter"? This question was raised when the
Victorian Government announced changes to the state’s Solar Homes Package that will make smart inverters mandatory for solar power systems installed
under the program from the beginning of July. Find out more
here.
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,
