At Southern Solar have carried out many different projects for Housing Associations and Residential Social landlords (RSLs) over the last eight years. We have added solar to many different types of building including blocks of flats, multiple house projects, and sheltered housing units, as well as retrofitting existing housing stock. Utilising both solar thermal systems and solar electric (PV) systems to provide benefits to both tenants and landlords.

The feed in tariff for PV systems is a huge opportunity for RSLs. It provides multiple benefits for the association - the ability to strengthen their balance sheet through fixed returns on offer from the feed in tariff whilst at the same time reducing their tenants exposure to fuel poverty.
