Battery Storage Workshop

Coal River Valley Sustainable Living Group July 2017

Free Information night

Are you concerned about electric power bills, solar cells and feed in tariffs and whether a battery storage system might be an economical choice for your home?  Would you like to be able to access power stored from you own solar cells during a regional black out ?  Did you know that you need a little more than just a battery to do this?  Are you interested in the future of the power network in Tasmania, such as on Bruny Island?  Want to find out what financial help is available for purchasing solar cells and energy efficient appliances?

If so, note this date in your diary Wednesday 13^th September, 7 pm at the Catholiccare Meeting Room in Torrens St., Richmond.  If you would like more information, email Penny, contact for the Coal River Valley Sustainable Living Group.  pmwadsley@ozemail.com.au

Our next meeting is on Wednesday 12th July at 7 pm at the Catholiccare Meeting Room in Torrens Street.  All welcome.
