Minimise your Environmental Impact:  

Solar energy is a clean, renewable source that reduces carbon emissions, contributing to environmental sustainability goals.  

Why Solar PV for Social Housing?

Installing solar PV across your housing portfolio offers measurable, long-term benefits:

Reduce Tenant Energy Bills

Solar panels generate free electricity during daylight hours, helping tenants reduce their reliance on the grid. This is a meaningful way to combat fuel poverty and improve quality of life.

Support Net Zero Goals

Transitioning to solar PV helps meet your carbon reduction commitments in line with UK government targets and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) requirements.

Enhance Your Property Portfolio

Solar installations increase the energy performance of homes, helping improve EPC ratings and make properties more attractive to tenants and funders alike.

Long-Term Operational Savings

While the panels primarily benefit tenants, landlords also benefit from reduced communal area energy costs and a future-proofed asset base.

Demonstrate Environmental Leadership

Investing in solar shows your commitment to sustainability and community wellbeing, aligning with resident expectations and funding priorities.
