Change the world from the comfort of your own home! Harnessing renewable energy places you in a powerful position indeed. Solargain helps Australian households reduce the demand on natural resources to produce energy. So everyone benefits from cleaner air, limitless electricity and a resource‐rich present and future. It is so easy when you know how. And our renewable energy tips are a great place to start.

  • Air dry your dishes. Air is a renewable energy source and infinitely more cost‐effective than your dishwasher’s drying cycle.
  • Australia enjoys a vast variety of temperatures. A programmable thermostat will keep your home temperate throughout the year.
  • Trade your dryer for line‐drying. You’ll save money on your power bill, reduce greenhouse gas emissions – and enjoy cleaner clothes! Ultraviolet light kills bacteria and helps remove stains too.
  • Turn off electronics like your computer and TV when they’re not in use. One of the next best things to renewable energy is not using any electricity unnecessarily.
  • Many parts of Australia implement water restrictions during summer – so activate your own at home! Trade baths for showers and use grey water to hydrate plants or wash driveways.
  • Choose solar power panels to heat your home and water. Solar power panels system is a wonderful renewable energy and will save you plenty of money too.
  • Get smart about heating your home! Close off unoccupied rooms and only heat those in use.
  • Insulate ceilings and walls. Draw curtains to retain heat and consider a gas heater. Gas may not be a renewable energy source. But gas heaters save up to 75% greenhouse emissions compared to electric heaters. And they’re cheaper to run too.
  • Choose energy efficient light bulbs. You’ll use 80% less energy while enjoying the same light level. Energy efficient light bulbs last up to 10 times longer than standard incandescent bulbs too.
