Exceptional value for a limited time - Don't miss out For some time, the Cooperative has been offering great value solar installations to homes, schools and clubs in NSW and ACT. Solar engineers with BCSE accreditation install all systems in conjunction with experienced electricians.

A practical workshop on photovoltaic installations was held at Figure 8 with the help of Matt Linney from Solar Horizon and Energy Coop's own registered installers. These workshops are designed to familiarise homeowners, students and interested people with the installation process. Such workshops help homeowners understand solar, and are a good starting point for those considering studying installing at a registered training organisation or university.
