“Sydney-based window furnishings company Hunter Douglas has become one of the latest Australian manufacturers to invest in a solar power system, to cut costs and boost their business’s sustainability.”

“According to the company’s website, the 2080 panel system will generate 29,955,000kWh of power a year – enough to power 4,608 Australian homes and abate 24,862 tonnes of CO2 emissions.”

“”This installation is notable for the cutting edge technology that we have chosen, and its cost effectiveness which will see it pay back the investment in a little over four years,” said Tony Politis, Hunter Douglas managing director for Australia and New Zealand.”
