Explore renewable technologies that save your residents money.
Solar energy reduces carbon emissions and improves EPC ratings across your housing stock. Your residents can save big on their energy bills. They will also benefit from reliable energy and heating, and less reliance on harmful fossil fuels.
Using battery storage with their solar photovoltaic (PV) saves the energy generated in the day for use whenever your tenants need. Your tenants can avoid peak time tariffs from the grid, as well as benefitting from better EPC performance and maximised solar self-consumption.
Consider other renewable options.
Heat pumps help social housing tenants access reliable heating while lowering long-term running costs. They are more cost-effective than a fabric-first approach, and 300% more efficient than gas boilers at heating homes.
Electric vehicles have risen in popularity as they are cheaper to run and better for the environment than fuel powered vehicles. We can supply, install and maintain your residents’ EV chargers to facilitate their transition to EVs.
We can also look after any EV chargers installed previously, to make sure energy used is being paid for.
Take advantage of government funding.
The Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund (WH:SHF) is a government initiative designed to help social housing providers and local authorities bring their properties up to an EPC rating of C or higher.
At Carbon3, we have extensive experience with large-scale social housing retrofit projects. We’ve successfully delivered SHF-funded projects and have the expertise to guide you every step of the way. From initial planning to project execution, our support ensures your housing stock meets energy efficiency targets, reduces emissions, and enhances the comfort and affordability of residents’ homes.

Prioritise your residents.
At Carbon3, we’ve know that upgrading your social housing stock needs to consider the needs of your residents as well as improving energy efficiency.
Here’s our approach: firstly, we keep your residents informed throughout the process with regular coffee mornings and updates. By installing external risers for the Solar PV systems, we can reduce the need to enter residents’ homes.
We consider the system’s long term maintenance by installing bird protection mesh and remote monitoring, so that any necessary repairs can be scheduled outside of unsocial hours.

Help residents make the most of solar PV.
We can help your residents apply for the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme to help them get the most from their systems.
When your residents generate renewable electricity, they can feed back into the grid any spare electricity.
Under the SEG your tenants will be paid for every unit of electricity that they feed back. This means any unused energy can still be beneficial to your residents, and help them reduce ongoing O&M costs.
