The potential for solar PV installation on the many commercial warehouse and retail unit roofs in Eastbourne is huge, & the town is one of the sunniest places in the UK.
Solar PV systems are now so cheap that they don't need government subsidies to make them viable, and there are several community energy compoanies locally, such as OVESCO, who could raise the funds for large solar PV installations through the issuance of community shares. The main challenge is to liaise with landlords and commercial property owners to negotiate the release roof space for solar PV installations. (Photo by Science in HD on Unsplash)
