Solar Energy Seminars at Bermagui – April 2 and 3

Posted on by

They will run from 5.15 pm to 6.45 pm in the Bermagui Country Club Auditorium.

Both will follow a similar format:
a presentation by CEFE on solar energy, generation, storage and the possibility of trading directly with friends and neighbours. We will also report on the first year of our program to install rooftop solar;
Representatives of CEFE’s two bulk buy contractors – Ekonomix from Cobargo and Sunny Afternoons of Moruya – will be there to show their distinct offerings for panels, inverters and optional battery storage;
One on one discussions between the suppliers and anybody wanting more detail on costs, savings and technical details.
Each of the three events will be limited to twenty families so that CEFE and our suppliers will be able to give more personal attention to individual needs.

Booking essential. You can book here Alternatively you can email CEFE Bermagui co-convener Bill Caldicott for more details at [email protected] or call him on 0427 938 220.
