01. Who this page is for
Whole-stock retrofit,
Whole-stock retrofit,
one accountable programme.
This page is for asset managers, sustainability leads and retrofit programme managers at housing associations, ALMOs and councils. Retrofitting solar across social housing is less about any single roof and more about running the programme well: surveys at scale, phasing by archetype, resident communication, access, quality and reporting.
We run stock-wide programmes with a single accountable team. Portfolio surveys find the roofs that give the best outcomes. We group homes by archetype and location so crews work efficiently. Resident engagement covers letters, appointments, in-home visits and clear aftercare. Where the programme calls for it, we align with PAS 2035 retrofit requirements.
We focus on the outcomes your board and funders measure: lower bills for tenants, EPC and carbon improvements across the stock, and the documents to prove it, from MCS certificates to portfolio-level reporting.

07. Housing FAQs
Questions housing providers
Still have a question?0330 043 1047 Questions housing providers
often ask us.
How do you handle resident access?
Our own team handles letters, appointments, reminders and in-home visits, and we offer flexible rescheduling for residents who need it.
Can you align with PAS 2035?
Yes. Where the programme requires it, we align our work with retrofit coordination, assessment and evaluation requirements.
What funding is available for social housing?
Social housing decarbonisation programmes change from year to year, so we do not promise specific grants. Our Funding Hub explains the routes, and your feasibility study provides the figures for your application.
What reporting will we receive?
Certificates for each home, plus portfolio-level reporting on installs completed, generation, savings, carbon reduction and EPC-related outcomes.
Who maintains hundreds of systems afterwards?
Our operations and maintenance team monitors and maintains systems across the stock, with resident-facing fault response.
Do homes need planning permission?
Most rooftop solar on houses is permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some flat-roof installations may need consent, and blocks are assessed individually. We check each property type at survey.
Can you maintain systems another installer fitted?
Yes. Our operations and maintenance team monitors, maintains and repairs systems we did not install, including fault response, inverter replacement and panel cleaning.
