All-Energy Conference, Melbourne 2016
Its been a busy month. As part of the #SolarFreakinRoadTrip I was again on the road during the first half of October. I was consulting and working on solar projects between the Northern Rivers and Sydney. Just awesome! I also flew to Melbourne to attend the All-Energy Conference 2016. I attended last year and this year was not to be outdone.

As a Level 2 Electrician I have been educating myself on what the costs might be to households when this change happens, as well as researching what some of the opportunities might be too.
