Energy price increases are on the horizon. Now is the time to start considering home solar power to keep your bills under control.

In the past year wholesale power costs, that being the prices energy retailers pay to purchase power from energy producers such as power plants, have risen as much as 140%.

Australia is the perfect place for solar. Homeowners have known this for some time, and the uptake of solar around the country has only continued to grow year on year on year. However, electricity networks sometimes struggle to keep up with the amount of excess solar energy being exported to the grid. That's where export limiting comes in.

Recently, our Echuca location had the opportunity to work alongside Clenergy on a unique solar energy installation in a rural area. A roof-mounted system was not going to work for homeowner Trevor Vincent’s beautiful 20-hectare property right by the creek. So, we had to come up with something unique. Check out the video below or read on for more details.

We had plenty of entries but in the end only one winner could emerge. So, congratulations to Nicholas Gordon of Redbank!
