South Yorkshire Housing Association to equip 400 properties with solar electric systems from Solarcentury
South Yorkshire Housing Association (SYHA) is to fit solar electric systems on up to 400 of its social housing properties in the North of England. Working with Solarcentury, the housing association is continuing its strong track record of commitment to solar power to provide cost savings for its tenants and a revenue stream for the organisation. With the introduction of the Feed-in tariff for solar electricity, where energy companies pay producers for the generation of clean electricity, SYHA believes now is a better time than ever to invest in solar electricity.
Savills solar collaboration
Solarcentury has entered into a collaboration with International real estate advisor Savills.The UK’s leading solar energy company will work with Savills to provide advice on solar photovoltaic systems as part of the firm’s Corporate Real Estate advisory offer. The combined solar solutions service, which will provide energy security from green resource as well as a return on capital invested, will include financial analysis, design, planning, installation, project management and ongoing support.
Farmers earn extra income with solar buildings
The recently announced Feed-in tariff for solar photovoltaics (PV) is good news for UK farmers. Rather than using valuable land for solar PV, the roofs of British farm buildings can prove an ideal space for solar panels, thanks to a wide choice of new solar PV building materials now available.
