Unique Investment Opportunity

The Little River Landcare Group has launched its Solar Initiative on the 16th April 2010 offering competitive, high quality photovoltaic solar systems to our members and friends.  

The NSW Government is offering a Gross Feed in Tariff of $0.60c per kW for all electricity generated by household photovoltaic systems 10kW and under in size. To make the most of this opportunity, LRLG has thoroughly researched the initiative and undertaken negotiations with Suntech, a leading producer of solar panels. We have on offer to our members and friends, a choice of high quality 3, 5 and 10kW systems that all qualify for the NSW governments Feed in Tariff scheme. All systems come with a warranty to continue producing at least 80% of their original output after 25 years and a life expectancy of 40 years or more. Prices are installed***.
