PRI Seeks Services of Electrician
Demonstration Sites, Developments, Education Centres, Energy Systems, Project Positions — by Geoff Lawton October 27, 2010
We need a registered electrician in NSW to help us finish wiring our three bedroom extension with lights, power points and smoke alarms. The building is straw bale construction and is council approved. We just need the final inspection for council approval for an occupation certificate. Once completed we will be refinancing the residence to secure finances for development of the commercial kitchen, classroom, ablution block, and five straw bale accommodation cabins to complete our educational infrastructure.
The electrician could then secure the contract to work on the whole project development.
Zaytuna Farm, next to the village of The Channon (near Lismore), is now powered by a huge state of the art solar power station mounted on the new 200 m3 commercial shed complex at the front gate — using the latest technology copper indium selenium panels. There are no silicon crystals involved. We can now arc weld and run large power tools all at the same time. This is also an opportunity to get in on a new technology shift that is far superior to anything before — we are the only ones in Australia with the technology so far. The people I am working with have imported the first container of panels into the country. These panels do not derate with temperature and partial shade.

I am excited for you to get that project completed. It was great experience to be able to work on some of it during my internship and to get to know Chris Darker and see his genius. Just wish I could have helped to complete it. I really like how the orange conduit represents the flow of solar energy through the site.
For those of you who haven’t been able to experience relying on solar energy, start with a small system-even a solar battery charger for your AA or AAA batteries, and experience the feeling of using a renewable energy source. It is a good feeling.

‘I really like how the orange conduit represents the flow of solar energy through the site’ – orange conduit represents heavy duty conduit suitable for use in the ground with a marker tape laid half way between it and the surface. It must be painted a ‘light colour’ to protect it from UV rays when exposed to the sun. But good for you if it meant something else!
I would love to come up and do your electrics Geoff, I’d even do it for a bed, a feed and a chance to try building in strawbale but i’m down in melbourne with a wife, little boy and one about to pop out. good luck with the build and i’ll come up to see you one day!
