About the project

Raven Renewables was subcontracted by AD Construction Group to deliver net zero carbon retrofit measures to a number of Raven Housing Trust’s homes, installing PV panels and battery storage units to 26 homes primarily across Surrey.

The energy-efficiency installations formed part of a wider suite of measures for Raven Housing Trust, using funding received as part of Reigate & Banstead Borough Council’s bid to the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF), a funding scheme set up by the government to increase the decarbonisation of social housing, through the retrofitting of energy-efficiency measures.

The installation of the photovoltaic panels and battery storage units, alongside other works being carried out, was predicted to save customers several hundred pounds per year, whilst of course bringing another client closer to their goal of achieving net zero homes.
