Installation by DJM Electrical
This year’s Smart Energy Conference was abuzz with news on solar and batteries — more abuzz than a bucket of Queensland prawns on a hot tin roof. The hottest of hot topics was home batteries — not because dodgy ones were spouting flame — but because their installation rate is soaring.

With solar power playing a bigger role in Australia’s energy mix, what impact will today’s eclipse have on our electricity systems? [Read more…]
Griffith University is continuing on its sustainability journey with the installation of solar panels on the rooftops of five Logan campus buildings – and there will be more to come. [Read more…]
