Interested in investing in solar PV?
We can advise if solar is suitable for community buildings and commercial premises, how much it will cost and how much income it could generate. We can also arrange a technical survey, obtain quotes from 'best of breed' installers that have been vetted by our partners, arrange design of the system and monitor the whole process from an initial meeting through to installation.

Financing Options

Pay for the panels yourselves
You keep all the income from the Feed in Tariff (FIT) and enjoy an 8-10% return on your investment or more. This is suitable if you have money available that is currently invested at lower rates of return in, for example, savings at the bank or in an ISA - or if you wish to raise funds by eg a loan or a mortgage.

Raise part of the finance from corporate investors
We can find investors who will share the cost with you. The installation would be owned by you in partnership with the investor(s). We can arrange the finance, lease agreement, and help set up the organisation to own the installation. You receive free electricity for the lifetime of the panels and the Feed in tariff is used to pay back the investment. Any surplus after maintenance and running costs could be shared between you and the other investors.

Raise finance from individuals.
Your solar installation could be owned by friends, work colleagues and other individuals as shareholders. You would receive free electricity and the profits are shared amongst shareholders through a yearly dividend which qualifies for tax relief under the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS).

Show environmental leadership in Barnet
Hardly any of us generate our own energy, most of our homes and buildings are uninsulated and we spend far more on gas and electricity than we need to. As a result, Barnet has the third highest carbon emissions of any London borough and one of the highest rates in the UK. Something has to be done about this.

All of us have a responsibility to play our part in rectifying this situation and with your help and that of others, we CAN transform Barnet into one of the ‘greenest’ boroughs not just in London, but in the whole of the UK.

We would therefore like EVERY sports club, resident association, church, synagogue, mosque, school and business etc, to refer members, parents, employees and customers, to us. In so doing, you can help the local community reduce energy bills and CO2 emissions, improve the environment and help combat climate change.

Can we make a presentation to your members, congregation, customers or employees?
They will appreciate this as we can help them reduce energy bills and generate income. If you would like us to make a presentation at your premises, please let us know. We can present at any time, day, evening or weekends, whichever is convenient for you.
