Hi everyone,
Don't panic! Despite what some advertising around the place indicates,
Australia's solar rebate is not ending any time soon - but there are some important points you
should be aware of. Learn
more here.
Those attending a recent Smart Energy Council seminar heard Australia
could be "re-industrialised" using cheap renewable energy to
attract the kinds of heavy industry that we have mostly farewelled.
In other news, November saw an uptick in the proportion of Australians getting quotes for solar power
who wanted to purchase a system immediately - more
in the latest auSSII report.
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,
