PROJECT DETAILS

BEC has installed a total of four rooftop solar arrays on Brunelcare buildings over the last six months, totalling 543 kWp. These include Deerhurst Care Home, Colliers Gardens, Robinson’s House and Waverley Gardens. They are part of the South West Local Solar Scheme, funded with support from a £570,000 grant from the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority’s Green Recovery Fund. We worked in collaboration with fellow community energy group Bath & West Community Energy, who built around 300kWp, bringing the total across the West of England to nearly 2MW. You can read more about it here.

Thanks to the scheme, BEC is powering more community spaces in and around Bristol. These include Knowle DGE Academy, where community-owned solar is supporting young people with additional needs, and Great Western Air Ambulance, where solar powers life saving services. There’s more to come as the scheme moves into its second phase.
