Project story…
This 30kW solar project proved to be amazingly quick and easy to organise, which was wonderful for the time-poor voluntary workers who organise our projects. Many of our projects are for NFPs that have a volunteer Board which meets infrequently but which needs to give approval every step of the way. In AQ’s case the CEO could make all the necessary decisions. The process from receipt of their EOI, our technical assessment of their quote, locking in the installation, and signing of our loan agreement only took a few days.
This project is fully funded – Thank you!
