Guest Speaker
Sun Connect
Our Club Services Director Dale Chaplin
Introduced Sun Connect which is a 100%
Australian company which leads the way
in Solar energy and products.
Sun Connect is a private company which is
doing its best to help the environment by
helping Australians into clean green en-
ergy. They firmly believe in what they are
doing and the benefits that it has for our
planet.
The government will pay for people to put
solar panels on their roof. It is an obvious
way to generate power that until just re-
cently has been very much under utilized.
Australia is a very long way behind the
rest of the world in the take up and adop-
tion of solar energy.
Australians per capita are amongst the
worst polluters in the world.
Traditional methods of generating power
means that they produce tones of pollu-
tion for the power that is generated. Just
because we cannot see pollution does not
mean we are not producing any. Solar
power has been around for decades but
has been under utilized because it was not
cost effective. Australia traditionally has
had the cheapest prices in the world for
power, but this is beginning to change.
Solar is the most plentiful source of en-
ergy. Scotland has 5 times the amount of
solar power then Australia. Germany has
100 times more. You could possibly switch
to solar at a very minimal or no cost if eli-
gible.
The federal government will give you
$6000 up front. The state government
have indicated that they will pay you a
premium for any power that you generate.
Your power company will pay you via
savings on your bill and being able to buy
back any excess electricity that you may
generate. From July 2011 you may have to
have your house energy rated by man-
date. This may require you to make
improvements before you can sell your
home (similar to RCD switches / smoke
alarms currently). You may be eligible for
up to 100% of solar panels that you fit on
your roof being reimbursed by the State
and Federal governments.
Exchange Student Magali
Magali advised that on her school holidays that
she went down to Busselton with Shane Cross
and his family. She went to the beach and got a
little bit sunburnt. They also visited the cheese
and chocolate factory. Magalis passion for
cheese is very well known in this club. Magali
then went to Corrigin to catch up with her old
friends from this area. She then had a friend
sleep over at Clint’s home. It was her 17th
birthday yesterday and she has also done some
shopping.

and all members of both clubs feasted upon
the cake.
