Opportunity to invest in solar panel scheme

Dorset Community Energy, a Community Benefit Society supported by the CLS in Dorset programme to install solar PV panels on 6 schools and village halls, has completed the first solar panel installation at Martinstown Village Hall. Further solar panel installations are planned for Salway Ash and Osmington village halls in April and May, plus 3 PV installations on schools during the August summer holiday.

Local people will have an opportunity to invest in the solar panels and receive 5%- 6% interest per year, plus a 50% tax rebate of the sum invested if investors are taxpayers. The participating schools and village halls will receive free electricity from the solar panels. More information will follow in the June newsletter or for further details please contact Pete West
