The London solar project slashing bills for vulnerable residents

A scheme in London is delivering clean, affordable energy directly to residents in social housing via newly regulated solar microgrids.

Rooftop panels have existed on housing estates such as Frampton Park in the borough of Hackney for some time, but they only feed into the grid.

However, a new, first-of-its-kind scheme enables tenants to benefit directly from the power generated on their rooftops.
