Hunter courthouses are set to be a little more energy efficient, with a new solar panel program rolling out across New South Wales.
The $1.8 million rollout is part of the State's push to halve emissions by 2030, and hit net zero by 2050.
Broadmeadow, Muswellbrook, Toronto, Belmont, and Woy Woy courthouses will all get the upgrade.
The buildings will also be outfitted with energy saving LED lighting and motion sensor activation in rooms such as meeting rooms and bathrooms.
The program's expected to generate 2,311 MWh of electricity a year, or reduce annual carbon emissions by 360 households.
Work on the upgrades will begin early next year and is expected to be completed by June.
