Solar Shop Australia has been announced as the presenting sponsor for Sustainable House Day 2009, to be held across Australia on 13 September 2009.
Now in its eighth year, over 150 homes will open their doors to the public on Sustainable House Day, showing ways to make living and working spaces more environmentally friendly.
Managing Director of Solar Shop Australia, Adrian Ferraretto, said that the Solar Shop Australia and Sustainable House Day partnership is an ideal opportunity to promote the benefits of sustainable living.
“Over the last 10 years we have seen thousands of Australians realise the benefits of installing solar power systems,” Mr Ferraretto said.
“Less than one third of one per cent (0.3%) of Australian homes has domestic solar systems installed, which is over 1000 times less than European countries, like Germany with half the sunlight of Australia.
Judy Celmins from Sustainable House Day said they are excited to be working with Solar Shop Australia, a key figure in the field of solar electricity.
Other sponsors of the event include Enviro Saver, Dux Hot Water, Wood. Naturally Better, Think Brick Australia and Australian Ethical Investment.
Entry to ‘open houses’ will be free this year, and attendees will have the chance to win a number of grand prizes including grid connect solar systems, and hot water solar systems.
