The Mighty Solar Battery: Brisbane Installer’s New Children’s Book Highlights Blackout Solutions and Solar Rebates

To celebrate the Albanese Government’s new Cheaper Home Battery Rebate, Queensland Solar & Lighting has released a brand-new illustrated children’s book:The Mighty Solar Battery — a fun and timely story that shows how a solar battery can keep the lights on when the grid goes down. The book is a follow-up to the company’s first release, The Mighty Solar Panel, and once again blends energy education with local flavour.

When Reviews Pivot After Factory Tours: Honest Transparency, Selective Discernment or Biblical Integrity?

When Reviews Pivot After Factory Tours: Honest Transparency or Biblical Integrity? The Aussie solar industry runs on trust. Plain and simple. Installers rely on clear, credible advice from trusted voices, and no one’s voice is louder in Brisbane than Mark Cavanagh from MC Electrical. Let’s get something out of the way first—I’m the owner of Queensland Solar & Lighting, a direct competitor. But this isn’t a hit job or anything personal. It’s a candid look into a fascinating pattern I’ve noticed that makes you wonder what’s really happening behind the scenes. And honestly, I’m convinced Mark’s intentions are good—he genuinely seems driven by a Christian conviction to do right by his customers. However, there’s an interesting pattern emerging in how Mark handles reviews: he frequently gets invited overseas by big solar brands, praises their products initially, then publishes notably critical reviews later. Is this purely transparent reviewing, biblical-style honesty, or….
