Eco Barge Clean Seas Inc. is proud to announce a new partnership with Green Energy
Technologies through the installation of a 13.2kW solar system at Eco HQ in the
Whitsundays.
The system will power essential components of Eco Barge’s conservation operations,
including the five quarantine turtle tanks, water pumps, and marine debris recycling
machinery in the Ocean Trash Recycle Shack — allowing Eco HQ to run almost entirely
on clean, renewable energy. This upgrade represents a major milestone in Eco Barge’s
mission to be truly eco-efficient and demonstrate sustainability in action.
“This is more than just solar panels on a roof,” said Libby Edge, Founder of Eco Barge.
“Every day, we do our best to care for our local environment, so being able to harness
renewable energy to power our turtle tanks, recycling machinery, and all our work at
Eco HQ feels like a true gift — from both Green Energy and Mother Nature. It’s the
perfect extension of our commitment to protecting the environment in every way we
can.”
Green Energy Technologies has provided not only top-tier solar technology and
installation but also their exclusive GET360 Guarantee, which ensures long-term
savings, system service, and performance monitoring for 10 years—all covered at no
cost to Eco Barge. This ongoing contribution empowers Eco Barge to operate
sustainably for years to come in partnership with Green Energy. Through their GET
Capital Support Package, Green Energy also reduced the total cost to zero, making this
an incredibly generous contribution to both Eco HQ and the Whitsunday community.
"We're excited to be supporting one of the most important eco-friendly not-for-profit
businesses in the Whitsundays, they're work is vital in protecting our unique and
spectacular ecosystems." Said Kon Flaherty, CEO Green Energy Technologies.
