What are you offering?
We can provide you with free, trusted, client-led, advice to help you decide if installing solar PV is right for your organisation.
Why is your advice free?
We are funded by a national charity to provide you with this advice. They share our aim of wanting to scale up solar PV installations in the city.
What form does the advice take?
We will provide you with a report that details an optimised solar design for your building and highlights the key benefits and financial metrics that the system would deliver. We will use the report as a basis for a conversation with you on how a solar PV system could benefit your organisation and local community.
What information do you need?
We have developed a simple, short, online form to capture the key pieces of information we need to compile the report. This includes data such as annual energy use, current energy unit price, and any consumption profile you might be able to provide.
Is capital funding available to install the PV system?
Yes. Systems may be funded directly by PEC Renewables using community investment, supported by Government or GB Energy programmes, or self-funded by the building owner. The best route will depend on your circumstances and your timelines for install. We will talk to you about funding options when we discuss the report.
