Hi everyone,
2019 was disastrous from a climate-related viewpoint in Australia;
particularly with the ongoing drought and bushfire crisis, but solar power
continued to offer cause for some optimism - check out Ronald's 2019
year in review.
On a somewhat related note, a council in New South Wales has granted water
restriction exemptions to solar owners so they can wash off bushfire ash
coating their panels.
While on the topic of fossil fuelled (or at least exacerbated) chaos, the Climate Council has lashed out at the
Morrison Government after it took another step towards supporting two new gas-fired power
stations.
More on these and other stories below.
The end of 2019 has unfortunately brought heatbreak to many, but we sincerely
wish everyone the very best for 2020 and thank you all for your support of SQ
this year.
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,
