Access to installers
A challenge with the installation of solar panels (PV) at the moment is that demand is outstripping supply. We work with communities to turn many small jobs into one big job to make it more attractive to installers.
“We’re really pleased with the result and keep popping into the cupboard where the electrics are to check progress – we’re like a couple of kids on Christmas Eve! Without your help and support we’d probably be still procrastinating because we had so little knowledge.”
