Hi everyone,
Welcome to another issue of the Solar Quotes weekly newsletter - please feel free to forward it on to others.
South Australia's Home Battery Scheme, which is also offering low interest loans
for new solar + storage installations, is now accepting applications - here's
what you need to know.
Solar installations broke records again in October, and interest remained strong throughout
the month from potential solar buyers in Australia. Find
out what they were looking for.
In other news, it appears some electricity retailers need to better train their
salespeople to understand that no means no. One poorly-trained (or perhaps just
ignorant) representative made the mistake of knocking
on Ronald's door.
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,
