Solar Together London is a group-buying programme that has enabled Londoners
Solar Together London is a group-buying programme that has enabled Londoners to install solar panels on their homes at an affordable price. This supports the Mayor''s plans to make London a zero carbon city.
Solar Together London is delivered by iChoosr and through this programme households and small businesses across London have signed up through the programme to have high quality solar photovoltaic panels (PV) installed on their roofs to generate electricity.
As the programme has developed there has also been the opportunity to have battery storage installed – helping residents capture energy when it''s being generated and use it later – as well as electric vehicle charging points.
With support from local authorities, the Solar Together London scheme has provided a group purchase for solar panels at a very competitive price.
Solar Together London is now completing its fifth phase, with over 3,000 homes having had solar panels successfully installed through the scheme to date.
Following the failure of one installation company, some Solar Together customers need help to secure a refund or have their installation completed. Further information is available on the Solar Together website.
Welcome to the Community Energy London Potential Map! The purpose of this map is to to help community energy groups find promising development opportunities and for policy makers to visually explore the potential of community energy in London.
We are still in a testing phase and so please get in touch if you have any issues.
This map has been developed to help community energy groups find promising development opportunities and for policy makers to visually explore the potential of community energy in London.
Data from the London Solar Opportunity Map, London Heat Map and the London Building Stock Model have been matched to community building types and the data can be explored by administrative area (borough, constituency, ward) or for London as a whole.
You can find full instructions and more information about the data by clicking the buttons above.
Check out our website if you would like to learn more about community energy. If you feel inspired to get involved with a group or maybe even start your own, please get in touch and see the resources on our website.
This tool is designed to help community energy groups find promising development opportunities and for policy makers to visually explore the potential of community energy in London.
Data from the London Solar Opportunity Map, London Heat Map and London Building Stock Model are provided to help users find and rank potential community buildings for further investigation. The values of solar potential and heat demand should only be used for this purpose and it should be noted that a full feasibility study and structural survery will be required to develop any project.
It should also be noted that we do not have a dataset of buildings already developed and so this will be one of the first things to investigate after identifying buildings of interest.
Please find disclaimers related to the datasets used to create this map here: London Solar Opportunity Map, London Heat Map, London Building Stock Model and Ordnance Survey AddressBase dataset.
Building data will appear for you to explore in this panel after selecting an area. Note that the buildings will be sorted in decreasing order by estimated solar annual output to highlight the most promising potential solar developments but you can sort by clicking on column headings. You can also hide specific categories of buildings by clicking the buttons above the table.
Data from the London Solar Opportunity Map, London Heat Map and the London Building Stock Model have been matched to community building types in London. Details of how we have used these datasets can be found below but for full details and disclaimers, please follow the links above.
There may be misisng buildings and all data may not be available for all those which are displayed. This tool includes all data available to us and will be updated when updated data is made available.
The solar, heat and energy efficiency data has been matched to community buildings in London by the Greater London Authority using the Ordnance Survey AddressBase dataset.
Please also note that, while preparing the data for the map, we had to make sure only one building is shown per address, as sometimes there were multiple addresses per building (all with the same solar potential). We have removed these duplicates but the one address per building left may be confusing, with some addresses including ''First Floor'' or potentially only one of many business names within the building. We are working on improving this but for now you may need to ignore the first part of an address.
Each community building is represented as a marker on the map after clicking on an administrative area.
Buildings are categorised into the following groups:
For all solar data, we have assumed the installation of polycrystalline panels with an output ratio of 11.9% covering the whole viable area.
Potential carbon savings are estimated using the above assumption combined with a carbon intensity based on LEGGI (London Energy and Greenhouse Gas Inventory) figure of 0.231 kgCO2e/kWh
Estimated annual heat demand and estimated peak demand data are provided where available. For more information about this data, please check out the London Heat Map, London Datastore and the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) who created the tool..
If you spot any differences with the London Heat Map, it is because we are currently in the process of updating this dataset.
Please note these values are a bit outdated and so it is recommended to source the latest EPC. If an energy rating is known for a specific building, clicking it will take you to a search for the latest EPCs matching the building post code but you may not be able to find an EPC for the building due to gaps in the data.
