Harvey Bay Solar Power

The city is situated approximately 290 kilometres (180 mi) north of the state capital, Brisbane, and lies on the coast of a natural bay between the Queensland mainland and nearby Fraser Island.

The local economy relies on tourism, for which whale watching, Fraser Island and Lady Elliot Island and Hervey Bay's calm beaches are the major drawcards. In 2008, Hervey Bay was the fastest growing statistical division in the country which makes it a great place to start investing in Solar Power.

Green Home Energy is making a commitment to start helping out the community of Harvey Bay & the sunshine coast with delivery quality, affordable Solar Power at a bargain price.
