MASH: Community Solar Bulk-Buy

Buloke Shire

About the Mallee Sun Bulk-buy

The Mallee-Sun Bulk-Buy is a community initiative supported by Buloke Shire Council to make it easier for households and businesses to go solar and add battery storage.

Going solar or adding battery storage can help you cut your electricity bills and become more self-sufficient.  And with the Mallee Sun Bulk-Buy, you can feel good that you are also supporting your local community – as every installation counts towards more money going towards free solar for community groups and schools in the Buloke Shire. 

So spread the word, as the more solar that’s installed in the Buloke Shire the better!

Information Meetings

Join us at a Solar info meeting to find out if going solar is the right thing for you! In just 90 minutes, you will get a comprehensive overview of the Mallee Sun offer and the opportunity to put your questions to the Mallee Sun team and our solar installer.

Supported by Buloke Shire Council

With already 26% of homes in the Buloke Shire, it’s clear that people in our region see the benefits of solar.  Council is partnering with the Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance who run the MASH solar bulk-buy to encourage more households, businesses and farms in our Shire to go solar and maybe even add battery storage.  The MASH bulk-buy is a well-established program that has achieved strong results working with councils in other parts of central and northern Victoria and, as a not-for-profit initiative, it has a lot of pluses. One of these is a ‘give back’ to the local community in the form of free solar for community groups and schools, with one percent of project revenues going into a kitty for this purpose. MASH is worth considering if you are thinking solar.

Buloke Shire Council 

Mallee Sun Solar Bulk-Buy: Good for you. Good for your community.  And a step towards a cleaner world for all of us.
