Billions in UK funding available for retrofit solar

With billions in UK decarbonisation funding available through initiatives like the Warm Homes Plan, SolShare ensures blocks of flats don't miss out by unlocking these grants, improving EPC ratings, and lowering tenant bills from a single rooftop system.

Warm Homes Plan

The Warm Homes Plan is the UK government’s £15 billion initiative, it aims to triple UK rooftop solar by 2030.

SolShare gives you a scalable, future-proofed technology to deploy solar rapidly across your apartment blocks, boosting SAP ratings and lowering energy bill for residents.

  • Over 800 families across 32 schemes will save 25-40% on energy bills annually.
  • Partners include: Your Housing Group, Lewisham Council, Brunelcare, BHT Sussex, Southdown Housing, Peabody, WCHG.
Funded schemes include:
  • Lewisham Council (Wave 2.1) – The Hermitage (28 flats): average SAP score improved 60D ➜ 76C
  • Peabody (Wave 2.1) – Fortune House (22 flats) and Peabody Court (54)
  • Brunelcare (Wave 2.1) – Maple Close (54 flats) and Chestnut (66)
  • Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (Wave 3) – 210 units across 8 blocks
These projects delivered higher EPC ratings, substantial energy savings for residents and reduced carbon emissions for the RPs.

Social Housing Net Zero Heat Fund (SHNZHF)

 The SHNZHF is a major Scottish Government initiative designed to accelerate the rollout of zero-emission heating and energy efficiency upgrades across social housing.

While blocks of flats are notoriously difficult to decarbonise, SolShare makes flats viable by reducing tenant grid reliance and energy bills, helping landlords secure funding and scale net-zero retrofits.

Partners include:

  • Home Group: City road, Dundee | 14 flats

  • Cairn Housing: Towerhill road, Thurso | 24 flats

  • Hanover Scotland: Kelvin Court, Kirkintilloch | 35 flats

  • EPC ratings were uplifted from a low D to a far more efficient B.
  • Residents are seeing savings of up to 50% on their annual energy bills.
These projects delivered higher EPC ratings, substantial energy savings for residents and reduced carbon emissions for the RPs.
