Clubs and community sites
See where solar may help your club or community site.
These sites can be very different from a normal home or business. Start with when the site is used, who owns it and what you want to improve.
A common club pattern
Solar is made in the day. Many clubs use more power at night.
☀DaySolar makes power

What matters most?
Check the site before choosing the system.
🕒
When is the site used?
Some clubs are quiet in the day and busy at night. Others use power all day.
⌂
Who owns the building?
A council, school or other owner may need to approve the project.

What is the goal?
Lower bills, replace old equipment, prepare for growth or make better use of grant funding.
Best first step
Start with a recent power bill.
The bill gives me a simple picture of the site. I can then ask for more detail only if it is needed.

About grants
Build a good project first. Check grants second.
Grant programs can change. A project should still make sense for the site even if a grant is not available.
Simple rule:
Do not design the project around an old grant notice. Check current rules before relying on funding.
