Greener future
Shift in how we
power the UK
Fossil fuel generation is decreasing, while renewable energy continues to accelerate. This transition is essential for tackling climate change, strengthening energy security, and supporting local, community-led solutions
Energy costs were a constant worry for our operation. Solar Seed Co-op showed us a clear path to go solar without upfront capital, and supported us at every step of the process.
Local Business Owner Issy Richard
I joined Solar Seed Co-op because I wanted my money to do something meaningful. Knowing my investment supports local buildings and clean energy — while earning a fair return — makes it a no-brainer.
Solar Seed Co-op Member Steven Odin
Solar Seed Co-op was created to remove the financial and knowledge barriers that stop communities from going green. I’ve seen first-hand how many good projects never happen simply because funding and expertise aren’t accessible. Our goal is to change that — by bringing people, capital and clean energy together for long-term local benefit.
