If you are thinking: ‘How do I go about setting up a roof-top solar system to power all my household electrical needs; and at the same time, charge the electric vehicle (EV) I am planning to purchase; and how can I learn pretty much everything there is to know about purchasing and running an EV; and maybe even how can I do backyard beekeeping’?
Well, this event is made for you!
Join our free family friendly ‘Backyard Buzz’ event, lead by Harvey local Tim Devereux (a home solar, electric vehicle and beekeeping whizkid) along with other EV specialists from Perth - a great opportunity to share, learn, discuss, ask questions and socialise.
