  2. Another source of energy is through the use of solar panels. We have developed the use of solar power in Perth -- it's convenient, and it saves us money and effort. I think we should promote the use of our solar energy too.

    1. That's brilliant! If you shift to a new power source, all you have to change is your habit of paying the bills. You'll save big money and effort with solar energy. You wouldn't even have to change your electrical supplies/components at home because someone else can do the installation for you. Thanks for that.

  3. Solar panels sound like a great idea. I know there are several solar panel installers in Perth that can do the installation for you. Less effort, less cost.
