Unlock 100% ECO4 funding with solar for flats

Written by Allume | May 22, 2024 3:29:23 PM

Are you fully leveraging the potential of the ECO4 scheme? Integrating SolShare into your ECO4 strategy can unlock 100% ECO4 in funding.

This is a golden opportunity for Housing Associations and Councils to advance their energy efficiency projects with £4 billion in funding allocated.

Set to end in March 2026, the clock is ticking to take advantage of this incredible funding opportunity. These changes are not just temporary measures but are essential for meeting inevitable future regulations and sustainability goals.

And here’s why you should be tapping into this scheme through shared solar with Allume Energy for your projects.

 

Shared Solar for Flats with SolShare

Previously, solar for flats was not a feasible option because each apartment needed its own inverter, making the setup complex and costly.

SolShare is a world first solution for this issue. SolShare connects multiple flats to a single rooftop solar system and distributes the generated energy efficiently and equitably to all residents.

 

This marked our first ECO4 project in collaboration with E.ON Energy for an owner-occupied building. Out of 36 flats, 25 were eligible for a 100% ECO4 grant. 2 ineligible flats chose to privately buy in to the system.

The project connects 27 flats to a single rooftop solar system using Allume Energy's SolShare technology. This retrofit increased the overall SAP score by 11 points with grid energy reduction of 26-33% and saving residents £300-390 annually on electricity bills.
