Rushcliffe Solar: January 2013

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

Solar companies to sue government

23 Jan 2013: Guardian article
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/jan/23/solar-companies-feed-in-tariff-cuts
17 companies suing the British government for £140million. 2012 has been a bad year for the solar industry, not just because of the endless rainfall, but because Osborne cut away most of the incentive provided by the Feed in Tariff - causing immense problems for the Renewables industry which had geared up to meet the demand.

Meet the Team!

Rushcliffe Solar is a growth from the West Bridgford Transition group and was first dreamt up by David Nicholson-Cole as an ambitious idea for the group to pursue. The idea was supported by Karina Wells (West Bridgford Transition group) and Hugh McClintock (Pedals cycling campaign) of West Bridgford. In Rushcliffe, our partners are Sheila Hood and Paul Philips of the Sustainability group of Rushcliffe Borough Council.

RBC are the principal funders of the first two months of the campaign.

The Energy Saving Trust will take a key role in Rushcliffe Solar, with continuing support, and we have a growing list of Solar Installers, prepared to contribute subscriptions.

David Nicholson-Cole works at the Dept of the Built Environment, University of Nottingham, and has a teaching/research interest in Eco-construction and Eco-HighRise design.

Please ask for free advice on how to transform your roof. Email us with your house number and postal code - and any other relevant information, such as distance from adjoining large trees, or recent changes since Googlemaps photographed the building.

This site is for research interest and campaigning purpose and has Nothing to sell - there are no vested interests. However, we welcome Solar PV installers to email Rushcliffe Solar to discuss the campaign.
