Community Power - where to start?

Are you and your community looking at ways to implement and plan for low carbon living? Perhaps you are a Transition Town Group or a CRAG and are keen to make the first steps towards decentralized, clean energy produced on your doorstep.The success of OVESCo or Brixton Energy Group, our pioneering community groups that don’t just pull off one installation, but go on and repeat the process over and over, building a portfolio of locally owned, clean electricity producing is the envy of climate action groups up and down the country.

However, if your group has the drive and enthusiasm, it doesn’t take much to pull off your first launch, share offer and installation, and you can start small, just find a willing landlord and there are support groups out there such as Share Energy and PlanLoCaL who will help you along with installers like Southern Solar with experts in Community Solar who can help you do the rest.

From providing expert speakers at your launch night, to organizing the PR for your share issue, Southern Solar do more for community solar clients than just install the systems, we keep in touch and we join the party, making the process engaging and rewarding for all concerned.
