For Local Authorities committed to reducing their carbon emissions, solar PV provides an attractive solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guidance describes and explains these in detail, with a step-by-step guide outlining the processes sequentially from a user&#8217;s perspective and case studies of previous successful projects across Local Authorities. The last chapter also looks at Social Housing, where the deployment of solar can deliver clean, affordable energy, which benefits the tenants and the Local Authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/contact\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact Solar Energy UK<\/a>&nbsp;for more information on this report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"acf-block-download-file-block_92eceaaf05c8972d53e8843e772c6d71\" class=\"acf-block-download-file d-md-flex flex-row\" data-aos=\"fade-in\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FINAL-procurement-guide-spreads-vFINAL634.pdf\" download class=\"acf-block-download-file__image d-block hover-opacity-0-75\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1811\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LAGuide_Cover-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LAGuide_Cover-scaled.jpg 1811w, https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LAGuide_Cover-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LAGuide_Cover-1448x2048.jpg 1448w, https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LAGuide_Cover-1920x2715.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LAGuide_Cover-1536x2172.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1811px) 100vw, 1811px\" \/>    <\/a>\n    <div class=\"c-pl-md-5 d-block c-mt-md-0 c-mt-4 acf-block-download-file__content\">\n        <div class=\"entry-content\">\n                    <\/div>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FINAL-procurement-guide-spreads-vFINAL634.pdf\" class=\"acf-block-download-file__link font-size-18 font-weight-semibold d-inline-block c-mt-5\" download>\n            <span class=\"acf-block-download-file__text d-inline-block position-relative c-mr-1\">\n                Download                <span class=\"acf-block-download-file__file-type\">pdf<\/span>\n            <\/span>\n            <svg viewBox=\"0 0 31 31\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                <circle cx=\"15.5\" cy=\"15.8081\" r=\"14\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/>\n                <path d=\"M15.3555 7.55811L15.3555 19.8702\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\"\/>\n                <path d=\"M20.9121 14.2993L15.3546 19.8697L9.79711 14.2993\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\"\/>\n                <line x1=\"9.79687\" y1=\"23.0581\" x2=\"20.9119\" y2=\"23.0581\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/>\n            <\/svg>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3171,"template":"","resources_type":[10],"custom_tag":[],"class_list":["post-3067","resource","type-resource","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","resources_type-latest-reports"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.5 (Yoast SEO v24.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How Solar Energy can Deliver for Climate + Communities &#8226; Solar Energy UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/resource\/how-solar-energy-can-deliver-for-climate-and-communities\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How Solar Energy can Deliver for Climate + Communities\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A guide for Local Authorities This new guidance looks at procurement methods for solar deployment for Local Authority assets.
