Specialized Solar & Electrical has been appointed the exclusive Solar Retailer and Installer for Brimbank Community Solar, an innovative program launched in November 2021 to help more residents and businesses in the City of Brimbank access the benefits of rooftop solar.
Partnership with Brimbank City Council
The project is being delivered in partnership between Council and solar community specialist More Australian Solar Homes (MASH), a program of the Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance (CVGA), a not-for-profit organisation that has worked with several councils to help encourage the uptake of renewable energy.
Why Specialized Solar was selected
Specialized Solar & Electrical was selected as the supplier for this program through a competitive tendering process which evaluated quality, service and price.
“We found that Specialized Solar was the obvious first choice Solar Retailer for Brimbank Community Solar,” said Gemma Watson, Acting Program Manager at the CVGA.
“Quality is so important when it comes to solar,” she said. “That’s quality of component, quality of installation and quality of customer service. We’re confident that Specialized Solar provides top-notch quality on all counts, combined with pricing that represents good value for money.”
Part of Brimbank’s response to climate change
Brimbank Community Solar is a practical action resulting from Brimbank City Council’s Brimbank Climate Emergency Plan. The program aims to achieve:
- 1MW of new solar installed capacity
- 1640 t/CO2 emissions cut annually
- $14,000 raised to distribute in the form of free solar PV for not-for-profit community groups in Brimbank
