The Mallee Sun Solar Bulk Buy makes it easier for households and businesses to go solar – and add battery storage – with an option they can trust.
Supported by Swan Hill Rural City Council
Mallee Sun Solar Bulk Buy is a partnership between Swan Hill Rural City Council and the More Australian Solar Homes (MASH) community solar bulk-buy which is delivered by the Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance a not-for-profit organisation which supports councils across central and north western Victoria.
Swan Hill Rural City Council is pleased to support Mallee Sun Solar Bulk Buy. Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance has done its homework through a competitive tendering process to choose a solar provider that offers good value for money, high quality solar systems, and excellent customer service.
The bulk buy aims to make it easier and more affordable for our residents to transition to solar and benefit from lower, more predictable electricity bills. There are also benefits to our community – local jobs for local installers and some free solar for community groups and schools.Anyone thinking of going solar or adding battery storage should take a look Mallee Sun Solar Bulk Buy.” – Mayor Bill Moar

High quality solar systems at competitive prices
Launched in July 2019, the Mallee Sun Solar Bulk Buy provides high quality solar power systems and battery storage to people living in the Swan Hill Rural City Council area and nearby.
Backed by solid warranties and installed according to best practice industry standards by a Clean Energy Council Accredited solar retailer, the systems provide good value, with competitive prices negotiated as part of the bulk buy. The MASH team carefully evaluates the companies they work with to ensure residents can trust the quality and value of the systems being offered.
