Explore renewable technologies that save your residents money.
Your residents can get more out of their roofs with solar panels. Not only can they save big on their energy bills, they can also benefit from reliable energy and heating, and less reliance on harmful fossil fuels.
Using battery storage in conjunction 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 being protected from blackouts and grid instability.
Consider other renewable options.
Heat pumps are another great solution to fuel poverty. Your residents will benefit from lower bills as heat pumps are 300% more efficient than gas boilers. Heat pumps have also been shown to be more effective at decarbonising social homes than insulation, so you can meet your ESG requirements at a lower cost.
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.
Discover more funding options.
If you have used all of your allocated SHDF funding, or missed the deadline to apply, we have other options available to fund your project, with no upfront costs, including ECO4.
Your tenants could be eligible for free renewable upgrades, including heat pumps, solar panels, and insulation through the ECO4 (Energy Company Obligation phase 4) scheme.
Unlike previous free renewable technology schemes, there are no hidden conditions – no roof leases, no ongoing charges, and no repayment requirements. We install the system and your tenant can use the energy for free for its entire lifetime.

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.
