Last week I was in Port Macquarie to photograph the launch of Energy Forever’s first 100 percent community funded and owned solar panel system at St Agnes Early Education Centre. This not-for-profit organisation has spent years rallying in the local Mid North Coast community to raise funds for this incredible project. It’s wonderful to finally see the results of their hard work.
The 72 panels are split over 4 roof faces to best cover the load at the centre. The DC from the panels is converted to AC grid power.

I fully support what Port Macquarie Hastings Sustainability Network and Energy Forever are doing for the community and the environment which is why I photographed the event for them on a pro-bono basis. If you have skills that you’d like to share with the organisation, get in touch via their Facebook page.
