PV Business models for the social housing sector

8th March 2017

 

One of the application segments the PV Financing project has looked at is the social housing sector. Together with our project partner Housing Europe, we have looked at social housing, which is a rented segment, and includes both single family and multi family housing. SolarPower Europe presented at the Housing Europe PROFTRAC conference “Getting our homes future ready: Essential skills and innovative solutions for a fair energy transition in public, cooperative and social housing” on potential options available to social housing providers for implementing solar PV on their buildings.

National workshops with the financial community

 

Between September and November 2016 the PV Financing partners conducted a series of seven workshops in Austria, Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Turkey and the UK with the financial and insurance community to discuss barriers and drivers for the financing of solar PV in each country.

In each case a number of experts presented their views to the group, which also included solar investors and developers. A selection of the presentations are available for download below. Note these are all in the national language of the country concerned. For more information please get in touch with the national project partner.
