SunWorks, a provider of sustainable energy solutions in Jersey, has announced its inaugural Solar Installation Giveaway.
The Giveaway is aimed at supporting local charities or community initiatives within the island.
Valued at up to £10,000, this initiative underscores SunWorks’ commitment to fostering sustainability and supporting grassroots efforts in the community. Once installed, the system will produce over 5,000 units of electricity annually, amounting to yearly savings of up to £1,000, increasing as energy prices rise.
With a lifespan of over 25 years, Solar PV systems provide long-term support to the organisation by generating clean energy from the sun.
“In light of the current economic challenges and the rising costs of energy, we recognise the strain faced by local charities and community initiatives,” said Ben Spencer-Newman, Solar Surveyor at SunWorks. “With this Solar Installation Giveaway, we hope to reduce operational costs and enable these organisations to continue their vital work while shining a light on how solar technology can benefit the islands’ communities here in Jersey.”
As energy prices continue to escalate and funding for charitable organisations becomes increasingly scarce, SunWorks sought to develop a distinctive approach to support local charities by leveraging its expertise and knowledge while highlighting the benefits of technology. The Solar Installation Giveaway not only aims to reduce the carbon footprint of recipient organisations but also educate on better use of electricity to free up resources that can be redirected toward their core missions.
Ian Brandon, Co-founder & Director, remarked: “I’ve long envisioned supporting a local charity with a solar installation. I am delighted that we can utilise our skills and resources to make this happen. A significant number of charities on the mainland have benefitted greatly from charitable initiatives and government programs for access to renewable energy. We wanted to be the first here in Jersey to do our bit.”
