As the UK moves towards sustainability and net-zero goals, housing associations are crucial players in this transformation. They not only provide affordable housing but also have the opportunity to lead communities toward greener energy solutions.
At Novus Energy, we’re proud to partner with housing associations to install solar panels and energy-efficient technologies that lower costs for tenants while significantly reducing carbon emissions.
Celebrating a Milestone: 400 Solar Installations in Social Housing
Recently, Novus Energy celebrated a significant milestone—our 400th solar panel system installed on social housing properties. This achievement highlights our commitment to making renewable energy accessible to everyone and demonstrates the tangible benefits of our work within communities.
By installing solar PV systems, we provide families with clean, affordable energy, enabling them to save on their electricity bills. In fact, many households have reported savings of up to 60% annually. This financial relief is particularly important as families face rising energy prices.
The Role of Housing Associations
Housing associations play a pivotal role in our mission to drive sustainable energy solutions. They manage a vast number of properties, allowing us to reach a larger number of households effectively. Our partnership with these associations enables us to implement solar solutions that not only reduce energy costs but also contribute to the UK’s goal of achieving net zero by 2050.
Our collaboration focuses on delivering tailored solar installations that meet the unique needs of each housing association. With our recent milestone of 400 installations, each system is estimated to reduce a household’s carbon footprint by approximately 1 tonne of CO₂ annually. Over the lifetime of these systems, we anticipate avoiding the emissions equivalent to nearly 8,000 long-haul flights.
Comprehensive Benefits for Communities
The impact of our solar installations extends beyond just energy savings. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Lower Energy Costs: Families enjoy substantial reductions in their electricity bills, helping to ease financial pressures.
- Environmental Impact: By using renewable energy, we significantly lower carbon emissions, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier planet.
- Community Empowerment: The initiative fosters a sense of pride and ownership among residents, encouraging them to engage in sustainability practices.
A Vision for the Future
As we look to the future, Novus Energy is committed to expanding our partnerships with housing associations. We aim to install an additional 1,000 solar systems over the next year, further enhancing the sustainability of social housing across the region.
Our Director, Dan Cawdron, expressed our vision, stating, “Reaching 400 solar installations on social housing properties is a huge moment for us. It’s a testament to our team’s hard work and our partners’ trust in us to deliver sustainable energy solutions. We are committed to empowering communities with affordable, green energy while tackling the pressing issue of climate change.”
