Buderim Solar Bulk Buying Initiative

Lesley Gillett has lived in Buderim for 11 years. At a community forum in March this year, “Changing the Dream” she has realised that the only way to make a change is to take action. Ever since then she has not stopped networking, talking to neighbours, to the press and reaching out to the business community to create awareness and action.

One of her big goals is to bring the Buderim community together to take action. With the help of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, Lesley is organising a Resilient Buderim Gathering at 7pm on Wednesday 19 November. It will be held at the BWMCA Hall.

If you are interested in attending, you can call her on 07 5445 2870.

Join the Buderim Solar Bulk Buying Initiative

One of the projects is a bulk buying group for solar PV and solar hot water. Bulk Buying is a community initiative that  works because it shifts negotiating power in favour of the individuals. It also cuts out marketing costs that can be passed on as savings.

Here is how it works:

1. You go through the instant online quoting process.
2. The online calculator finds the best system for your situation, shows all rebates and gives an expected price.
3. Once 10 people have registered their interest, we’ll give you a call and confirm the final price.
4. You can then decide to go ahead and we install within 3 weeks.

Other Bulk Buying Initiatives

Sustainable Maleny is also in the process of organising a solar bulk buying group. About a year ago they have successfully organised a solar hot water bulk purchase and now they are working on a solar photovoltaic project.

We are also in the process of putting one together for Brisbane and I’ll have the details in a few days.

If you know of any other bulk buying initatives, please write a comment below, so we can publish it.
