“We assessed our environmental impact – both locally and globally – and, with the help of Alteris Renewables and the Commonwealth Solar rebate program, are taking steps to minimize our footprint. By installing the PV array as part of our overall energy savings initiative we are reducing the strain on current resources and maximizing the use of clean, renewable energy.”
