Solar Made Simple May 2025

Solar Made Simple May 2025

Monday 5th May

7:30pm Upstairs Warrina St Clubhouse

There’s never been a better time to get rooftop solar!
With electricity prices rising, now is a great time to go solar. But making the switch can seem daunting amid all the hype. The Berowra Sustainability Co-Op’s survey of local residents showed that the biggest obstacle is finding accurate, reliable and honest help in sifting through the maze of information and advertising. Our survey showed that most people want to get solar, but simply “haven’t got around to it.”
If this sounds like you, then please join us for a Solar Made Simple presentation hosted by the Berowra Sustainability Co-Op in conjunction with Zero Emissions Solutions (ZES), a not-for-profit community association helping local homes, businesses and schools to save money, reduce emissions and reach net zero. Stephen Pritchard will also be available for those interested in batteries.
This free, informative and practical session covers solar panels and batteries and includes time for Q&A about your specific circumstances.
When: Monday 5th May, 7.30pm-8.30pm, Warrina St Clubhouse, 65 Hillcrest Rd Berowra.
Speakers: Ruth Barcan and Mark Higgs from Zero Emissions Solutions/BSC, Stephen Pritchard (Distributed Energy Specialist)
The session is free, but registration is essential.
