environmental destruction and towards environmental
harmony.
We are fortunate not just because we are employed, but because we are
doing what we want to do and can feel good about it.

Rainbow
Power Company occupies one of the largest passive-solar
buildings in the Southern Hemisphere - a self reliant
factory using renewable energy drawn from solar panels
and wind turbines. We are connected to the electricity
grid and we now export our surplus power to other New
South Wales electricity consumers. The philosophy of
the Rainbow Power Company is summed up with the address
of the premises located at 1 Alternative Way. We are
demonstrating that there is an alternative way for both
industry and home life that does not add to the world
environmental crisis.
