Solar Panel Installation Project

This project has arisen out of the Government's PickMyProject scheme.

We applied and received $110,000 to install solar panels on Community Groups around Banyule. For more information.

The concept is that we will identify a supplier of panels and they will meet with any community group that wishes to be involved. The panels will be installed and we will pay for them. We would expect most installations to be 3-4 Kw.

Each year, each group will repay 10% of the cost of the panels out of savings they achieve. Normally this amount will be less than the amount they receive from the Feed in payments. If the repayment is greater than the feedin payments, discussions will be held with the community group. If they believe the 10% repayment is greater than the saving they achieve, the repayment will be reduced.

Payments received will be used to fund installation of solar panels on homes for the underprivileged. The exact mechanism is yet to be determined, but it is likely it will be installed on Housing Commission homes. Once again, the housing commission occupant will be asked to repay the panels out of savings, generating a rolling fund.

Discussions are planned to be held with the Pick My Project team in December 2018. More information will then be made available.

If you are a member of a community group and would like to be involved, please email Alan Cuthbertson.
