To quote from their web-site…[quote]The Australian Solar Energy Society (AuSES) is the leading provider of solar energy information in Australia.

Our members include Australia’s leading academics architects engineers tradesmen students and most solar energy companies.

Members have easy access to industry news research papers networking opportunities and solar energy information.

AuSES also lobbies on behalf of the solar industry to advance a sustainable solar future.[/quote]A representative of SES spoke at a recent ATA meeting and we attended the Sustainable House Day which they organise. Their [url=http://www.auses.org.au/branch-news/qld/]Brisbane branch[/url] meets every second month. The last meeting was on 10 August so presumably the next one is in October.

My impression is that they are more of an ‘industry association’ than a ‘consumer association’ but they are undoubtedly a source of up-to-date information about what it happening with Solar energy.
