It is that time of the year where the sun reminds us just how powerful it is and when you turn that tap on, often even the cold water is coming out hot to start with. If the sun is that powerful it can do that much without even being conducted, then what can it do when you utilise it? As energy costs rise over the years, families are looking for ways to save on their electricity bill which is why going solar is such a viable solution for any property owner. Solar panels take advantage of this natural resource we have on the Sunshine Coast; not only does it promote a clean energy source but you will see a huge reduction in your energy bills.
