14 July: We are only a week and a half into the 'real work', and are already dealing with a good number of enquiries - something like 40 positive enquiries resulting from people becoming aware of what we are offering, and asking our advice. Meanwhile, the work of databasing typical streets in West Bridgford continues. We will be sending mailshots to high-potential households soon. We intend to have a table set up in Central Avenue on Saturday 17th July, with instant advice (based on aerial photographs of houses which we have access to), and will continue on later Saturdays. Belle and Jerome will support the project with Wifi and electric supply.
The project is funded by Rushcliffe Borough Council for the first 2 months, and after that we will have to keep going on an independent basis with referral fees from installers, so that we can maintain salary for our staff. We now have to add more Solar PV installers to our approved list, to help with funding. If the project produces good results, we will hope for another burst of databasing and leafletting etc in Summer 2011 - either deepening our coverage of West Bridgford, or expanding to other towns in Rushcliffe Borough.
If you decide to go ahead with an installation, it is important to tell the installer that your feasibility study/appraisal was done by Rushcliffe Solar, as this is the only way we can continue once the summer funding expires.
