BEC’s Solar Projects
We are the proud owners of 90+ community-owned solar arrays.
Our solar partners range from schools to businesses, and from blocks of flats to a football stadium.
Our solar systems are funded by our members – hundreds of people who joined us since 2010, to build renewable energy systems for our city.
Our members receive a return on their investment and the chance to join a dynamic, progressive organisation committed to the development of community-owned renewables.
