The beautiful southern NSW city of Nowra is a place of contrasts; superb beaches and striking mountain scenery, natural bushland, modern shopping malls and generous people.
The city is named after the local aboriginal word for the impressive black cockatoos. Located approximately 125km from New South Wales’ capital Sydney, Nowra is often seen as the gateway to the South Coast, a holiday favourite for tourists from all over the globe.
However, Nowra is also superbly positioned to be a leader in the uptake of renewable energy in the state. The climate is ideally suited to solar energy and there is a progressive movement amongst residents to accommodate solar power systems both large and small. Initiatives such as the conversion of the old North Nowra tip into a solar farm is a great example of the community pulling together for a common clean energy goal.
Nowra residents and businesses have also been busy in having solar panels installed on their homes and buildings - more than 2,596 small-scale systems have been installed as at June 30, 2020.
So, if you’re looking for a complete sea change and its solar power you want, the stunningly beautiful Nowra may be the place to be - with great installers such as those listed above to help you on your way to big electricity bill savings.
