Solar Quotes

Hi everyone,
 
Welcome to another issue of the Solar Quotes weekly newsletter - please feel free to forward it on to others.
 
Australia's only solar panel manufacturer, Tindo Solar, has claimed an incredibly low failure rate for their Australian made solar panels and announced other good news - Ronald reveals all.
 
In other news, Queensland's Government has kicked off CleanCo, but it won't be all about renewables.
  
One of the big questions since the toppling of Malcolm Turnbull that saw Angus Taylor elevated to the position of Energy Minister is whether he'll attempt to axe Australia's solar subsidy prematurely. Some say it's pretty much a done deal, but that's not the case (yet).
 
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,

Finn Peacock
