Halcol Energy Solar & Batteries has been a steadfast presence on the Sunshine Coast for over 15 years, bringing clean, renewable energy solutions to homes and businesses alike. This long-standing local business has proudly contributed a full solar and battery system valued at $20,000 to the SunnyKids House project, helping to power a safe, stable environment for vulnerable families.
Halcol’s connection with SunnyKids runs deep, with years of support behind their latest involvement. For Gary & Rosie Higgins and the team at Halcol, contributing to this build was about more than just providing technology, it was about giving back to a community that has always supported them.
“We really believe in what the SunnyKids team does,” Gary shares. “Being part of this project is our way of helping the more vulnerable people in our region. We’re proud to do it.”
The Halcol team has felt a deep sense of pride in being part of the SunnyKids House initiative. Their contribution reflects not only their technical expertise but also their belief in the power of community.
“As a business, the community togetherness that SunnyKids fosters is something special,” Gary says. “There’s also real value in the networking and connection opportunities, it’s good for business, but even better for the heart.”
Supporting local is at the heart of Halcol’s mission. Their advice to other businesses is simple: get involved. “Whether it’s financial support, time, or skills, every bit helps. And the impact lasts long after the build is done.”
