Jason Miles
Jason’s family have lived in the Byron Shire for five generations and his experience as an electrician spans nearly three decades. Tim and Jason met in 2011 when they first worked together installing solar across the Northern Rivers. Jason’s management of solar installations from a smooth start to a professional finish makes him a fantastic supervisor.
Jason is known to play Spanish guitar like a sweet summer night and is a champion at home brewed beer. He even took out first prize at the 2017 Lismore Show!
Seb Crangle
Seb is mad-keen about renewable energy and energy efficiency. He came to work with us at Light Touch because of a strong desire to play a hands-on role in bringing renewable energy to the good people of the Northern Rivers. On his days off he works for Enova Energy as an Energy Coach.
Seb went to school at Mullum High and later pursued careers in archaeology and quality management before finally joining the team at Light Touch.
Matt Baxter
Matt is passionate about helping local households and businesses play their part in Australia’s transition to a renewable energy future.
When he’s not up roofs installing solar panels you’ll catch him walking on the beach with his dog Zippo, or whipping up a laksa in the kitchen.
He also likes piña coladas.
“Thank you Light Touch Solar & Electrical for being wonderful to deal with when installing the CWA Lismore Branch rooftop solar array. We would fully recommend this business to any other organisations on the Northern Rivers!”
