THE Solar Rushcliffe project in West Bridgford has made a great start in getting people switched on to the idea of green energy.

Many people like the thought of installing solar panels at home to generate energy, but can be deterred by the seeming complexity of it all.

The large set-up costs can also be off-putting without someone impartial to explain how it can be a worthwhile investment.

But with free help and guidance from Rushcliffe Solar, thousands of people are finding out how they can benefit from being environmentally friendly, while saving large amounts on their bills.

The fact Solar Rushcliffe is now offering its help to residents across Nottingham after a successful start in West Bridgford has got to be welcomed – as it could give many more people the helping hand they need to embrace green energy.
