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.

Solar Greenhouse

29 Sept 2011: Here is an inspiring story, although it comes from the Daily Telegraph..... Solar panels as the roof of a self built greenhouse.
 ....Seems that Dave and Kate Evans have found a good way to cope, even if the roof of their house was covered in dormers and in a conservation area - put it on the Greenhouse!

  1. Thanks for sharing this David. We have had a number of clients installing PV panels on our projects across the east midlands recently, and some clients have opted for a ground mounted framework, (when their roofs have been unsuitable), similar to those found in feilds of solar farms - which can be a little unsightly withinin a residential curtilage - the greenhouse adaptation is a very good variation on this theme and suits the domestic environment much more sensitively.
