Greenheart Fair - May 16th

In May 2010, Ingenero again joined CitySmart at their second Greenheart Fair, held at 7th Brigade Park Chermside. Along with 10,000 local residents all keen to see Brisbane become Australia’s most sustainable city, the fair also featured local manufacturers of renewable products, community groups and media partners.

The major prize for the day was a 1.6kW Ingenero Solar Power System. The lucky winner was one very excited local resident, Hazel Shields. Living in rented unit with her daughter in Nundah, Hazel was over the moon with the prize which she will have installed on the brand new house she is in the process of building with her daughter.  A great story to have ended a great day!
