70 Chandos Street in St Leonards have installed solar to tackle their common area energy costs and help reduce their carbon footprint. Solar Choice was engaged in early 2019 to complete a business case assessment of the potential of solar at the building. Solar Choice’s
A new poultry farm was constructed in 2020 in Boort and is now powered by 200kW of solar panels. Solar Choice have partnered with Santrev, Australia’s leading poultry shed builder, to help the poultry sector capitalise on the power of the sun. The project in
What are VEECs? Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) are a stimulus package available to Victorian businesses undertaking energy efficiency projects such as installing solar power. Each certificate, representing one tonne of GHG emissions reduction, can be sold on a live market providing an additional incentive
The Sydney start-up behind a new breed of high efficiency solar cell technology has revealed plans to target the rooftop solar market first, before expanding into some of the multi-gigawatt scale projects proposed for development around Australia in the “next big wave” for solar PV
The world’s biggest solar and battery storage project, planned for Australia’s Northern Territory and backed by billionaires Mike Cannon-Brookes and Andrew Forrest, is about to get bigger. The Sun Cable project, which started out as a 10GW solar project in 2019, has expanded to plans to
10kW solar systems are a great investment for Australian homes with high levels of electricity consumption or businesses with relatively small electricity needs. This article takes a look at 10kW solar system pricing, energy production and returns in Australia. How many panels & how much roof
The ‘solarcoaster’ cycles of the Australia solar power industry are an economists dream and a solar business owners worst nightmare. The latest challenge for the industry to hurdle is the shortage and rapidly increasing price of solar panels. We have heard from the installers in
