Solar Ambassadors

Solar Alliance Launch
The team with Craig Reucassel at the Solar Alliance launch

We’re local volunteers who want to get things done.

We work with businesses as facilitators, doing the legwork, providing independent advice and connecting them with other businesses who have successfully installed solar.


  1. Every roof is different…
    …and every business is different. We sit down and talk through challenges and possibilities, using specially-designed software to project financial return and energy output.
  2. Solving problems
    We use our network of solar champions, local government and industry specialists to find creative solutions to tricky problems.
  3. Celebrating wins
    We think every new solar install is worth celebrating. We plan launch events, media coverage and signage to tell the community that solar works.

Come and join us, no experience required

A big idea needs all sorts of help to make it happen. Whether you’re best at brainstorming, being in the spotlight or working behind the scenes there are roles to suit everyone. Some examples to get you thinking…

Meet.

Help spreading the word, whether it’s by letter-boxing or by introducing the idea to a friend, colleague or business contact. It’s all about community building!

Listen.

Our trained solar ambassadors sit down with businesses to discuss their unique needs. They are good listeners with a thorough understanding of the steps businesses need to take on the way to a solar installation.

Think.

Our solar gurus are volunteers with experience and technical knowledge of how the solar industry works. They can help solve problems, explain quotes and demystify the whole process.

Shout.

We love volunteers who can help us celebrate successes! Social media mavens, Canva queens, writers and story-tellers and people who know how to throw a great party. Is this you?


We come from all walks of life.

Some of us are retired engineers, some of us are in the industry, but we’re not all solar nerds. We are professionals, business owners, carers, educators, even artists. And we are parents, grandparents, community members. We have diverse skills ranging from technical expertise to event design, change management to counselling, communications to cake-baking. Our aim is to make it easier for local businesses to install solar on their roofs.
