Inner West Council is working with ZapCat, a certified social enterprise, to help local businesses electrify and save on energy bills. Through this free program, small and medium size businesses can access expert, independent advice on switching to clean electric appliances — such as solar panels, batteries, hot water heat pumps, EV chargers, induction cooktops, and more.
Our expert advisors offer free virtual consultations to answer your questions, review quotes, and help you make confident, informed choices. We can also connect you with vetted local installers who specialise in commercial installations. Please note: while Council has subscribed to our advisory service, it does not directly vet or endorse installers.
