Deadline extended to apply for discounted solar thermal
Let’s Go Solar are offering discounts of around 50% on having solar thermal installed in your home.
Aimed particularly, but not exclusively, at homeowners living in deprived areas, the scheme is offering vouchers worth £1280 to homeowners and now runs through to the end of June.
You can also earn yourself £20 by recommending us to a friend or neighbour who then signs up for the scheme and goes ahead to have solar thermal installed.
Get in touch today to check availability.
Opportunity for Bristol groups to link up with similar Community Action Groups in Oxfordshire
At the network you could say our core purpose is to create an open platform to share and collaborate. Sharing the skills, knowledge, experience and expertise of people within Bristol and the surrounding area whilst working together for a smarter, greener future.
