Our Solar Sites
Powering Plymouth with community-owned solar
Our community owned solar portfolio
We have 30 rooftop solar sites across Plymouth, and our ground-mounted 4MW solar farm in Ernesettle. The annual output of our solar portfolio is 4,139MWh. This means that nearly one fifth of the solar generation capacity of Plymouth is in community ownership, ensuring the benefits of clean energy stay local.

Solar Schools
We've partnered up with the wonderful team at Earth Energy Education to offer local primary schools workshops and the opportunity to 'get hands on' with solar at Ernesettle.
Chelson Meadow Solar Farm
We are working with Plymouth City Council to develop a community-owned solar farm on the old landfill site at Chelson Meadow.
Ernesettle Solar Farm
In 2016, we transformed 18 acres of derelict land into our first ground-mounted solar array, using £1m in community shares and providing huge benefits for the wider community.
Our Second Solar Share Offer
In 2015, our second solar share offer allowed us to build 10 more roofs across the city.
Our First Solar Share Offer
In 2014, we launched our first share offer to build 21 solar roofs on schools and community buildings.
