I want to save electricity around my home

I’m interested in the Magnetic Island Solar Suburb trial

As a Magnetic Island resident or property owner, you’re entitled to a free energy assessment which will show you many ways to save electricity around the home. You can also register your interest in hosting an Ergon Energy solar photovoltaic (PV) system - solar panels - if you have a suitable roof. Click here for more information on the Magnetic Island Solar Suburb initiative.

I don’t live on Magnetic Island, but want information on solar panels from Ergon Energy
