“This is just the start, but the benefits are already being seen. Each installation helps decarbonise energy in Penderi and helps reduce home energy bills today and long into the future – that will make a huge practical difference to the community at a time when energy prices are soaring.”

Solitaire Pritchard

Director of Regeneration - Pobl Group

"The process of introducing renewable energy technology to our stadium has been a major milestone. We want to promote the use of clean energy and are proud to be in line with current net-zero targets. I personally want to thank the team for leading this successful project and look forward to our continued relationship."

Mark Prendergast

“We are delighted to have successfully achieved and exceeded our delivery target in the first year. Increasing the energy efficiency performance of our homes, five years ahead of legislation, is a key achievement in our goal as a sustainable social landlord providing warmer and more affordable homes for our customers to live in.”

Richard Hayes

Director - South Lakes Housing

How does this align with the Warm Homes Plan in 2026?

The Warm Homes Plan positions solar PV (and batteries) as central to cutting energy bills, with grants and finance intended to reduce upfront cost barriers.

Do you support solar + batteries, or solar only?

We support solar PV and battery options where they improve outcomes and we’ll be clear when batteries don’t stack up for your stock.

How do you avoid resident disruption?

Through phased delivery plans, access coordination, and comms built into the programme, not bolted on at the end.

How do you handle procurement?

We’ll work within compliant routes and help you tighten scope so you can compare like-for-like and mobilise faster once approvals land.

Can you support beyond energy (e.g., compliance coordination)?

Yes, our business development team within our Compliance division are available to help mobilise or discuss project coordination
