Australia's first solar garden sprouts in Grong Grong, taking the renewables boom to the community
www.abc.net.au On a patch of earth 'big as a Bunnings car park', renters get to muscle in on the solar boom
A five-hour drive from Sydney, a community garden of sorts has sprouted. But instead of sharing tomatoes or lettuce, "gardeners" harvest solar energy. And it's already a hit with people otherwise excluded from the rooftop solar boom.
The ‘solar gardeners’, who mostly live in cities hours away, are getting returns of $505, possibly higher, locked in for the next decade, depending on the electricity market
The returns are credited directly to their electricity bills.
