Description
Small business providing solar energy systems to remote indigenous communities around the NT. We need some ongoing help preparing in the workshop and traveling with us to Arnhem Land and other pretty special places to set up the systems.
No remote trips planned yet for the first half of 2024. I can offer a place to stay in Darwin for unskilled but suitable people to help around the workshop. I can now only offer to pay people if you have useful skills.
