Hi everyone,
Victorians can get $50 from the Victorian Energy Compare website until the 30th
of June 2020 because the Victorian Government would rather waste money on bribes
than allow real electricity retailer competition. Anyway, here's
how to get your 50 bucks.
Of course, to save some real money on energy, the answer is solar power - and
here's what Australians
were wanting in January.
If you're considering going solar and have a flat or close to flat roof,
solar panels with corner drains could be worth considering. Here's
why and which panels have them.
An interesting comment has been made by now ex-Federal Minister
for Resources and Northern Australia, Senator Matt Canavan. He
said "renewables are the dole bludgers of the energy system, they only
turn up to work when they want to."
Hrm.
More on these and other stories 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,
