SOLAR PROJECTS

Thanks to our sustainability program, Solo Sunny Days, we have contributed so far to the installation of over 366kW of solar power in community-owned projects around Australia. A total of 940 solar panels installed that would generate enough energy to power more than 160 homes for an entire year.
On our day to day, we are always looking at ways to minimise our impact by reducing the amount of energy consumption at the warehouse, office & stores and by offsetting 100% of the electricity with renewable energy becoming carbon neutral. By supporting OTTWAY you are investing in renewable energy too. 
We envision a world where people are thriving in communities powered by clean energy, find below a summary of the projects that we have enabled thanks to your contribution:
