Do you want to reduce your electricity bills? Are you interested in installing solar? Council has resources to help you get started.
Inner West Community Energy
Inner West Community Energy is a not-for-profit organisation made up of local people who promote energy efficiency options in Sydney's inner western suburbs.
Council is supporting Inner West Community Energy (IWCE) to engage with our residents to understand the barriers to solar panel installation and provide assistance to residents who are looking to install solar panels on their property but need a little help and advice. The group also runs free information nights, provides education material and webinars.
How can I get involved?
Keep up to date with scheduled information sessions hosted by IWCE by subscribing to our Sustainable Living Newsletter. This will ensure that you are up to date with upcoming events and other education programs focused on solar power and energy efficiency.

SunSpot
The City of Canada Bay also has a subscription to SunSpot, which is a solar savings calculator that can assist you in understanding what type of solar panels would suit your house.
The Sunspot tool can help you make the right decision about what type of solar panel and batteries to install at your house. It can also calculate how much electricity and money a solar PV system could potentially save your home.
