On Tuesday 25 November, local energy expert Ashley Bland will be presenting a free community briefing on household solar, batteries and electrification organised by Greening Bathurst in collaboration with The Neighbourhood Centre and Bathurst Regional Council.
Bathurst Mayor, Cr Robert Taylor, noted the briefing will provide useful information and support for residents who are curious to learn more about solar and how it may suit their household energy usage.
“This free community briefing is a great opportunity for Bathurst homeowners. For those who have questions about household solar or how the government rebates work, make sure you register to attend this stimulating event,” said Mayor Taylor.
Ashley Bland, Founder and Managing Director of the Bathurst-based consultancy Constructive Energy, will provide practical insights into common solar, battery, EV and electrification questions. The session is designed to explore the current State and Federal rebate programs and explain how the electricity market and household billing interact so residents can evaluate their Home Energy Management Systems with confidence.
Attendees will receive a one-page checklist to take to installers and sample sizing scenarios for common regional homes.
