Social Housing Solar Panels

Rising Demand for Social Housing Solar Panels

Although the UK government initially aimed to install solar panels on 800,000 homes, only 170,000 were fitted by 2022. However, demand remains high as solar panels help social housing tenants cut energy costs while reducing their carbon footprint.

Key Factors for Installation

To ensure efficient energy generation, several factors must be considered:

Roof size, strength, and angle (30-45 degrees is optimal)
Accessibility for installation
Property orientation to maximize solar efficiency
Local electricity grid capacity to support generated power

Qualifying for Subsidised Solar Panels

Homes can qualify for solar panels through regional grants or the ECO4 scheme, designed for properties with D-G EPC ratings. These programs aim to make renewable energy accessible to vulnerable households.

Funding Options: PPA and Group Buying

The Green Way Solar offers Social Housing Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), which allow providers to lease roof space to renewable developers. This arrangement provides low-cost solar electricity with little or no upfront cost. The Solar Together group-buying initiative also helps lower installation costs for housing providers.
