A lifetime dream realised - rooftop solar!

Ever since moving here to Australia, I have dreamed of having solar panels for our home. We finally made that a reality this past month! I had studied the "greenhouse effect" at university back in the early 1980's so this dream has taken a long time to manifest! It will help to offset our carbon emissions though we already support Enova by purchasing "green energy" for our remaining electricity use. Someday I would like to buy batteries to further utilise the solar we produce.

For the last three years, we have been transforming our food and toilet waste into cooking gas and liquid fertiliser concentrate (see Living tiny and green) The whole setup is carbon-neutral because biomaterial which was created through photosynthesis pulls carbon out of the atmosphere, and once burned as energy will go back as CO2. The…

Of particular interest to me was the electric lawn mower because I wanted to “mow electric”?, rather…
