The Forktree Project
Stand with us in supporting the Forktree project in South Australia
Support this project with ZEN Energy
Through this fundraising campaign we’re delivery delivering a renewable energy system to power the on-site irrigation system required to deliver water around the project site.
We have donated $35,000 to kick off the campaign to raise the $85,000 needed to deliver a complete off-grid energy solution dominated by an extensive solar and battery storage system.
We need your help to raise the remaining funds, for every residential solar and battery storage system sold during the campaign period, ZEN will donate a further $300 per system.

What is the Forktree Project?
The Forktree Project is a registered charity whose goal is to return a degraded 133-acre former pastoral property in South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula back to nature.
This involves re-establishing tens of thousands of native trees and shrubs on the property, which will bring back native animals, insects, and birds and sequester tens of thousands of tonnes of carbon. To add some perspective, the average Australian’s carbon footprint is approximately 25 tonnes each year.

Why do we need energy?
The site does not connect to the energy grid and will require electricity to run the water pumps and services needed to deliver the rare plant nursery and orchard. ZEN Energy has worked with the team at the Forktree Project to develop an off-grid system prominently powered by a 17kW solar system and 54kWhs of battery storage.
We will donate $300 to the Forktree Project for every residential system we install
In addition to our $35,000 initial donation, we will also donate a further $300 for every residential solar or battery storage system we sell during the campaign period.
By requesting a quote today, you will be lowering your own carbon footprint and will also help this fantastic project plant over 20,000 trees that will become home to insects, birds, and native animals.
