AP4CA do not endorse the party or candidate, instead, we celebrate their support for the Solar Our Schools policy. 

AP4CA is non-partisan, so we will also encourage other candidates in the electorate to support Solar Our Schools. We aim to make climate action a non-partisan issue and want to create a race to the top in embracing shovel-ready climate solutions.

Ask your candidates to pledge to Solar Our Schools

Ask all your local candidates to pledge their support for the rollout of solar and batteries for schools and early childhood centres in your electorate; and that if elected they will also support the rollout of solar and batteries in schools and early childhood centres across Australia.

Solar Our Schools will:

  • Create 7000 renewable energy jobs around Australia,
  • Savings from energy bills would enable another 4000 more teaching jobs, directly addressing the national teacher shortage. 
  • Save 1.4 million tonnes of carbon emissions from going into the atmosphere each year.

Email Tips +

  • If possible, please approach all candidates in your electorate at once, to create a fair and level playing field. You can do this by emailing them all using this tool.
  • Follow up your email with a call to the candidate's office within a few days to ask for a meeting with your candidate to discuss the pledge further. Whilst you are calling the candidate's office, be kind and courteous. Having a good relationship with the campaign manager or office manager may be the key to getting your foot in the door.
  • You can ask your candidate to up their commitment to the pledge, thus encouraging a race to the top on renewables.
