Solar Alliance Brookvale

imagine a place where local businesses get paid for energy they collect from their roof; where cars and trucks are powered by the sun; where residences and businesses share energy storage; where having solar panels on your roof is not just smart, it’s normal. this is our vision for an urban renewable energy zone in the heart of the city. brookvale industrial zone on sydney's northern beaches is already a powerhouse for renewable energy. there are panels on car showrooms, hotels and office blocks, boutique brewers and coffee roasters. but there is room for so much more. if we can cover 50% of brookvale’s suitable roofs we’ll have 70,000 solar panels producing up to 20 mw. that’s the size of a small power station. the solar alliance is a collaboration between clean energy for eternity – northern beaches (cefe nb) and zero emissions sydney north (zesn) we bring together community volunteers, local businesses, local media and local government, all seeking to make powerhouse brookvale
