Solar company Clenergy generously donated and installed a 3kW solar power system at Melbourne Citymission in Brunswick this week. The installation, valued at $10,000, was on the century-old Hartnett house, undoubtedly the site of many other major events over its long history. In 1911 it was the Mother and Babies Home for young unmarried women, while today the centre is home to many programs in Melbourne City Mission’s Children and Disability Services division.
How times have changed, especially with ever-increasing installations of solar power systems. The event was to mark the official launch of the Clean Energy Council’s inaugural Clean Energy Week, which combines the previously separate Clean Energy Council National Conference and the ATRAA Conference. For the first time the event will include public open days for anyone interested in future developments in renewable energy, as well as a schools program. Clean Energy Week is on from May 2 to 7 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
