SOLAR PANEL PROJECTS

Solarsense partners with Bristol City Council and Ameresco on £1million solar panel project

As part of the project, Solarsense will design, supply and install solar PV systems for 175 homes across Bristol and North Somerset, U.K.

Bristol City Council was awarded funding for the Bright Green Homes Project by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) via the Green Homes Grant, which promotes the installation of energy-efficient solutions in low-income, low EPC-rated households. The Green Homes Grant was established with the intention of fully funding the implementation of £10,000 worth of renewable solutions for eligible homes by the end of March 2022.

“Through the Bright Green Homes project, we are directly impacting Bristol’s carbon emissions, safeguarding local jobs and providing residents with a reliable source of green energy,” said Councillor Nicola Beech, Bristol Cabinet Member for Environment, Ecology, Energy and Waste. “We know that tackling household emissions will have a big part to play in our ongoing journey to become a carbon-neutral city by 2030, and schemes like this can have a tremendous impact on reducing household energy bills and tackling fuel poverty.”

Solarsense has partnered with BCC and Ameresco, to deliver the scheduled solar panel installations quickly and with minimal disruption to community residents and their homes. Construction begun in October 2021 and will continue until March 2022.
