CLEAN ENERGY PRODUCED FOR THE COMMUNITY, BY THE COMMUNITY.
Surya Community Energy is on a mission to ensure every temple and community-owned building in the UK generates its own clean energy through rooftop solar.
Who We Are
Surya Community Energy is on a mission to empower temples and community-owned buildings in the UK to generate their own clean energy through rooftop solar panels.
Surya Community Energy is a not-for-profit cooperative that offers a win-win model. By owning the solar panels, we are responsible for financing, installing, and maintaining them. The host organisations benefit from cheaper and cleaner energy, the community benefits from the profits invested in local projects, and shareholders can own a piece of the project whilst earning interest on their investment.
Our bottom line is to reduce carbon emissions and support the community, not to make profits.
What Makes Surya Community Energy Different?
Free Installation
We install and operate solar panels at our own cost. We do not ask for payment from our site partners. Our arrays are funded by community share offers, topped up by commercial loans.
Bill Savings
In return for using your roof space, we sell you clean electricity at a price we guarantee to be below market rates. Partner sites, funded through community energy, typically save thousands of pounds each year on their electricity bills.
Easy Process
Surya Community Energy will manage the installation and operation of the array, using our network of tradespeople. The installation itself takes a few weeks, and we will work with you to keep disruption to a minimum.
Community Benefit
Where possible, our projects contribute to a community benefit fund. Some of the revenue goes into local projects. Host partners will decide how the funds are distributed. We can also work with you to engage with the local community, like offering energy saving advice or running workshops.
Not-For-Profit
Surya Community Energy does energy differently. We are a not for profit company and our aim is to work with local communities to make meaningful reductions in carbon emissions. Once we have paid our costs, the revenue we make is invested back into local community.
Local Reliable Service
We rely upon building good relationships with local businesses and communities. We will always be open, fair and provide an excellent service, both during development and during operation.
