Check out this article on the Haystacks Solar Garden by Gemma Meier, a farmer at Grong Grong and host of the solar garden. It’s a simple concept that could be utilised by council in implementing renewable energy initiatives.
“Just like you’d sign up for a veggie plot in a community garden, you can join the co-operative, purchase a plot, and have your share of generated energy credited as a dollar-discount to your power bills. Everyone can access the benefits of solar energy in this project, even if they rent, live in apartments, or their homes are not suitable for rooftop solar.”
