Event Overview

The upcoming webinar, hosted by the Big Solar Co-op, is designed to educate participants on how to invest in community solar initiatives. This one-hour online session will cover the basics of community shares and bonds, providing insights into how individuals can contribute to solar development while earning a fair return on their investments.

The Big Solar Co-op is a not-for-profit, volunteer-led organization that installs solar arrays on large rooftops across the UK at no capital cost to the host sites. By participating in this webinar, attendees will learn about the cooperative's existing projects, which currently generate around 6MW of electricity daily from various commercial and community sites. The co-op aims to expand its reach, with over 40 new sites ready for development in the next two years.

Investors can contribute amounts ranging from £100 to £100,000, with a target annual interest rate of 5%. This initiative not only supports the growth of renewable energy but also fosters community engagement and sustainability. For more information and to register, visit the Big Solar Co-op website.
