Government releases 54,000 solar panel approvals on one day

1 min read

The Department of the Environment on Wednesday released 54,000 of its 60,000 solar panel approval letters. This means the 9,000 village residents that applied with our sister company, DCM Sanctuary, for a fully government subsidised $9,000 solar panel system will be informed of their success by Monday. We will also receive a confirmation letter and will correspond directly with residents to confirm that their installation is in hand. All installations have to be completed by 7 July, 2010. We have completed 440 ILU’s in QLD, NSW and Victoria to date.
