Solar powering business and homeowners

Join the solar revolution and reap the benefits for your family, business and wider community.

As part of our Climate Emergency Action Plan, we’re encouraging Baysiders to switch to zero carbon energy.

Homeowners, renters and rental property owners located in Bayside can access trustworthy quotes, affordable rates and free advice about solar and government rebates with Solar Savers.

Local government initiative Solar Savers is making it easy to install an affordable and quality solar system in your home or business. By installing solar with Solar Savers, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your installers have been independently evaluated on their safety, product and warranty quality, and value for money so you will have peace of mind when making the switch.

The Brighton Beach Bowls Club is one of the local businesses who we have supported to install solar panels and a battery, thanks to our Climate Emergency Grants program.

Assistant treasurer of Brighton Beach Bowls Club, Tony Geraghty said the new solar panels and battery are having a big impact on their business.

“We needed the battery because we have night-time functions that require the use of electricity,” Tony said.

From a social, environmental and economic perspective, Tony said the solar installation will not only help to fight the climate emergency, but also reduce hiring and running costs at the club.

“We have a lot of community groups that use the bowls club – including the cancer group, an arts collective and a parent-and-child group – and because now we’ve installed solar, we can keep our hire fees down and won’t have to raise them,” Tony said.
