Some standout brands include:
Meredith Dairy, Victoria
Producing delicious cheeses, yoghurt and milk requires a lot of heat and energy, which is why Meredith Dairy in regional Victoria has installed 99kW of solar. It also purchases 100% accredited GreenPower from the grid.
Sundrop Farms, South Australia
In the middle of the SA desert, Sundrop Farms is producing 15,000 tonnes of truss tomatoes every year for Coles supermarkets across the country.
How are they doing it? With solar thermal energy.
Bakers Maison, New South Wales
This is a feel-good community solar story.
Bakers Maison installed 100kW of solar thanks to its community, which chipped in almost $400,000 to fund the project.
This type of renewable energy installment is perfect for companies which cannot afford the upfront costs. Community investors receive a return on their investment.
