About the MASH Bulk-buy
The MASH Bulk-Buy is a community initiative – supported by Macedon Ranges Shire Council and Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group – to make it easier for households and businesses to go solar and add battery storage.
Round 5 of the bulk-buy started in April 2020 with a Cola Solar as its supplier, high quality solar and battery systems and great prices.
Going solar or adding battery storage can help you cut your electricity bills and become more self-sufficient. And with the MASH 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 Macedon Ranges Shire..
So spread the word, as the more solar that’s installed in the Macedon Ranges Shire the better!

We are fully supportive of the MASH solar program knowing that the power of bulk buying reduces the purchase price to individual home owners, along with power bills and carbon emissions once installed, whilst also benefiting community groups and schools through donated free systems through money raised. We are proud to be part of the Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance who run the project and encourage anyone looking into purchasing solar panels or battery storage to make contact with the program co-ordinations.
MASH Solar Bulk-Buy: Good for you. Good for your community. And a step towards a cleaner world for all of us.
