MEDIA RELEASE

Global event Earth Hour is this Saturday and Solar Shop Australia is once again supporting this initiative and encouraging Australians to think more broadly about the environmental impact of their daily lifestyle choices. Permanently adopting intelligent energy habits will make households more energy efficient and deliver benefits not only to the environment, but also the hip pocket.

Daniel Edgecombe, General Manager of Retail for Solar Shop Australia, said initiatives, such as Earth Hour, are a great way to raise awareness about energy efficiency long term, what must happen is a shift in thinking to renewable energy.

“Domestic energy use and our dependence on cars, account for almost one fifth of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. There are a number of ways homeowners can reduce their carbon footprint,” Mr Edgecombe said.

A new agreement will see $100m of proposed cuts restored to the Solar Flagships Program, an initiative that supports large scale solar stations in Australia.

Solar Shop Australia has partnered with the Dogs' Refuge Home in Shenton Park, Perth, with the aim of providing solar panels for their kennels.
