Could your place of worship or community building spend less on electricity?
We review your bills, available space and current equipment to compare practical options, such as solar, a battery or both.
A DECISION BASED ON YOUR BUILDING
What could work for your building?
The assessment guides the choice and size of the system, including whether better use of existing equipment could be enough.
Use what you have
A tariff, control setting or operating change may be enough to improve the current arrangement.
Add solar
We check usable roof or land against likely generation and how much power the building can use.
Add storage
We compare evening demand and tariff periods with the cost of storing power for later.
Pair solar and storage
We test the battery’s added cost against the value of shifting surplus generation into later use.
We put the current bill alongside the full cost of each route, including energy and any ongoing payments or fees.
FUNDING OPTIONS
What would a funded option cost your building?
Funding may be available for eligible sites. We compare what the building pays, who owns the equipment and who is responsible for it. Your trustees can review the annual payments, contract term, export income and what happens if the building uses less electricity.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · ANNUAL COSTS
Current electricity costs
£6,000
Electricity bought from the grid with funding
£4,500
Funding and service payments
£900
Total cost with the funded option
£5,400
Illustrative annual saving
£600 (10%)
Example figures only. A third party funds installation and owns the equipment. The hall receives no export income. The £900 includes all assumed annual funding, service payments and fees. Your assessment uses the building’s own data and proposed terms.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
Make better use of renewable energy.
A village hall may generate surplus solar electricity at lunchtime. A battery could store some of it to help light the hall during evening classes.
A village hall through the day
Illustrative only — the site’s data will show its real pattern
12:30
Solar may exceed use while rooms are quiet.
CHECK
Could a battery shift some power to later?
18:00
Groups arrive; kitchen and lights switch on.
We compare meter readings, tariffs and the full battery cost. Any emissions estimate needs its own calculation, including charging patterns and losses.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · EVENING ELECTRICITY
If the hall spent £800 instead of £1,000 a year on electricity bought for evening use, that would be 20% less on those purchases, before battery payments.
Support your community.
Lower energy costs could help keep classes, meals and advice sessions affordable. Your trustees decide how to use any verified savings.
Tell us which activities and opening hours matter most. The assessment should consider access during worship and community use, and flag any permissions needed.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · NOT A CUSTOMER RESULT
Make better use of renewable energy.
A village hall may generate surplus solar electricity at lunchtime. A battery could store some of it to help light the hall during evening classes.
The test: would storage reduce the annual cost after all battery payments? If it doesn’t, we’ll say so.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · EVENING ELECTRICITY
If the hall spent £800 instead of £1,000 a year on electricity bought for evening use, that would be 20% less on those purchases, before battery payments.

Would evening use justify the full cost?
