How it works
We provide free independent support and guidance to primary and secondary schools looking to power their buildings with cheap green energy.
We help you every step of the way from start to finish, to make installing solar as simple as possible.
Our Council teams currently work in selected areas of Sydney and New South Wales, Australia.
