We’ve made a commitment to make our homes more energy efficient and with solar panels installed on 500 homes last year, there’s more to come, bringing clean, renewable energy to some of our least energy efficient homes.

With support from our dedicated tenant liaison team, work is already under way with three trusted South Wales-based contractors. Over the next 12 months, solar panels will be fitted to just over 850 of our least energy efficient homes, helping reduce bills, cut carbon emissions, and move us closer to our goal of becoming a carbon-neutral organisation.

Using extensive data and home surveys, we’ve carefully selected the homes that will benefit most from this investment. Tenants whose homes have been chosen will receive a letter from us explaining the next steps and how they’ll be supported through the process.

Hayley from Baglan, has already seen the benefits, having been part of our last programme.
“The consultation and information we had beforehand was really thorough and we were excited to see the difference solar panels would make to us. The whole process was done in a day and the cuts to our energy bill have been really helpful, especially in the current climate with rising prices. I would thoroughly recommend solar panels to anyone on the fence, they’ve been a great addition to our home.”

Solar panels offer many long-term advantages, including lower energy bills, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and a smaller carbon footprint. Plus, once installed, they require little to no maintenance.

There are often questions or concerns about solar panels, but rest assured, the installation is free, low-disruption, and backed by our full support. You won’t pay to maintain the system, and if you move home, there are no hidden charges.

Not every home is suitable, but we are following a carefully planned ‘Target Energy Pathway’ to ensure we  deliver this programme fairly and efficiently.

This is a big step toward a greener future for our homes and communities and we’re proud to be leading the way.
