Rushcliffe Solar

Rushcliffe Solar started as a Transition West Bridgford campaign to encourage greater use of Photovoltaic home power generation systems in Rushcliffe borough, but we are always willing to answer an enquiry from other towns in the region. There are many buildings and entire streets with roofs which have a good view of the Sun and could produce power for the Grid and Income for the occupants. Hit the You Enquire tab to get a free appraisal of the photovoltaic potential for your building. Email: RushcliffeSolar@gmail.com
If you are thinking about it, do not be put off by recent changes in the tariff!: Since April 2012, the tariff was reduced to 21 pence/unit and ones on poorly insulated buildings get only 9 pence/unit. There have been further reductions since. Use the Expertsure calculator to check out your house and see if it is still worth doing.

Rushcliffe Solar moves up to a new plane!

July 17: Things have gone quiet a bit, and needed stirring up. We had a meeting of the Rushcliffe Solar working group, and decided to make a real fresh start and get this project going more seriously for the coming summer. David N-C (Nottm University), Tim Saunders (Energy Savings Trust), Paul Philips (Rushcliffe BC) and Richard Mallender (Rushcliffe BC) met at Rushcliffe's Civic Centre.
   IN short: we will go ahead with the project, employ two university students for two months in the summer, find space for them to work, and embark on the solar mapping of West Bridgford, with a view to expanding residents' awareness of the potential for home generation with Photovoltaic. This is likely to start end of June, probably the 28th. Before that we will have a short training course for the students.
   We are likely to partner with one of the key installers in the region, plus an architect's office who have offered space to our students for the summer.
  More will be written about this when more details emerge.
