The Tatiara District Council may become the first in south-east South Australia to promote a whole-community approach to solar power production. The council met representatives of the Zen Home Energy company to discuss the possibility that the Tatiara District Council involve itself in the Community Renewable Energy Pilot Program - a move that will be voted on at tonight's meeting. The program has already had a number of South Australian councils sign up to qualify for discounted prices on solar power systems by buying in bulk through the council. Tatiara Mayor Diana Penniment says if successful, the program could lead to solar panels being put on most council-owned buildings. "It is a very exciting program and I think it's something that we can offer the community, which in turn, council will possibly take on board putting solar power on their buildings", she said.
