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.

* The MWh figure is the amount of grid electricity avoided by solar electricity generation and energy efficiency measures. The resultant reductions in carbon emissions can be visualised as an equivalent number of average households switching from grid electricity to 100% renewable electricity, noting that the subsequent projects have been avoiding grid electricity for less time than the original project.
This project has been fully funded- Thank you!
