An Australian beer giant plans to help power its operations with extra energy from household rooftop solar systems - and will pay home owners with liquid gold.
Carlton and United Breweries says its new solar exchange program will let households exchange $30 worth of extra solar credit on their power bill for a slab of VB, which the brewery will deliver quarterly. We believe the average customer will get a slab a month, Brian Phan from CUB told AAP.
He said the company s Victoria Bitter was already brewed using offset solar power, and the extra rooftop solar would be used to power the company s head office, and to produce its other beers.
