Climate action requires the efforts of individuals, organisations, and governments if the world is to achieve its collective goal of net-zero carbon emissions. Fortunately, some communities are literally taking the power into their own hands and are banding together to create community renewable energy projects. These innovative community projects not only produce economies of scale …
Solar batteries store the excess energy that solar panels produce so that they can be used when the sun isn’t shining, be it at night or during inclement weather. If you already have a solar power system, or your organisation is considering investing in one, a solar battery as part of the installation may enhance …
In a world facing a climate emergency, it is more important than ever to educate those around us of the importance of climate action. Whether in your community, workplace, or socially, communicating and emphasising the importance of taking positive actions such as embracing energy efficiency, getting off gas, transitioning to renewable energy sources and switching …
Fossil fuels are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions that are driving climate change. Therefore, taking climate action both on an individual and organisational level is pivotal in order to help tackle the climate emergency and establish sustainable and renewable energy sources as the leading form of power generation in Australia. To address the detrimental effects …
There has never been a better time to transition to renewable energy and technologies like electric vehicles in Australia. Over the past two years, the country has undergone something of a renewable energy revolution, with solar power capacity growing in leaps and bounds as well as more and more people and organisations alike getting off …
Installing solar panels and transitioning to renewable energy is one of the best ways your organisation can reduce carbon emissions and energy costs. Here at CORENA, we work with a wide range of not for profits, providing interest-free loans to install solar panels and other energy efficiency measures to tackle the climate emergency. If your …
Climate change is a global challenge that demands local solutions. We need to, decarbonise, shift rapidly to net zero and support the uptake of renewable energy, energy efficiency, electrification of vehicles, plus opportunities which will see use reduce carbon emissions immediately. Citizens Own Renewable Energy Network Australia (CORENA) is an Australian renewable energy and community …
Solar energy has grown massively over the last decade in Australia. More recently, electric vehicles (EVs) have taken off thanks to an increase in availability and a decrease in cost. With a need for all businesses to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, using solar panels to charge electric vehicles is a great way to tackle …
Congratulations – you have installed your solar system and taken an important step to greening your energy and supporting the climate. Once installed, solar panels maintenance is relatively easy, however, in order to keep everything in check and running optimally there are some important things to consider. Although solar systems are designed to be rugged, …
In Australia, gas is commonly used as an energy source for cooking, hot water systems and heating. To reduce emissions and tackle the climate emergency, a lot of attention to date has focused on transitioning from coal fired power to more renewable sources of energy such as solar. Both domestic and commercial use of gas has …
