Update: Solar Mates Bulk Purchasing
Posted in Movements by Kate Archdeacon on September 7th, 2009
SolarMates have modified their support network in response to the government’s withdrawal of the solar purchasing rebate.
It’s still possible to get a great group discount, but it is primarily for the people who have already registered or have received government pre-approval for the rebate. The previous version of Solar Mates invited people to join so that we could help them to apply for the rebate. Of course, that is too late to do so now.
There will be quite a few people who have applied for the rebate but will find it difficult to find someone to supply and install within the 9 month deadline the government gives for the rebate.
For those who were not eligible or missed out on the rebate, nothing is definite with prices until the government decides how much they will per system with the new solar credits scheme. Things are looking up after the government decision to separate the carbon from the solar credits bill!

Solar Mates: bulk solar purchasing
Posted in Movements by Kate Archdeacon on June 13th, 2009
An invitation from the Solar Mates group founders, Maria and Lea.
Due to the changes to the solar rebate funding, an updated notice was issued by Solar Mates in August. Read it here.
Whitehorse 2 Solar, the solar-power bulk-buying neighbourhood group, was such a success that another group has been organised to help people apply for rebates, purchase solar and assist individuals and businesses who aren’t eligible for rebates. Through negotiations with other companies, a new offer has been made available for people to register before the government rebate runs out next week.

Hi!
I have just recently had solar power installed to my roof. This is an article about the offer which I thought was worth passing on!
$8000 Grant for Solar Panels is Closing soon!
It is fast approaching the time when people earning less than $100,000 per annum will no longer be able to receive the $8000 government grant for their solar panels. No one can deny that they produce clean energy straight into the home making use of the sun as it shines. 1kw will save about $500 worth of electricity a year and of course – no carbon miles when using it. There is a Community Neighbourhood in the Melbourne area concerned about the environment and making a difference. In four weeks, its members have grown to almost 300!
If you are interested in 1kw of solar panels for $1895 make sure that you apply ASAP as the $8000 government rebate has almost dried up. Those who are not eligible for the government rebate are also entitled to the free inspection, quote and assessment by an ethical company and high quality components.
