Welcome to Wey Valley Solar

Due to the Government consultation announced on 31 October proposing a reduction of feed in tariffs with effect from 11 December 2011, and as we had reached our initial target of £670,000 of investment, we have had to close our share offer early.  

Further information on the impact of this consultation on Wey Valley Solar Schools is available here.

For those who have missed out on this investment opportunity and are still interested in investing in a community based renewable energy co-operative like ours please register your interest with us so we can contact you should we re-open the share offer or inform you of other projects.

Wey Valley Solar Schools Energy Co-operative is an exciting and pioneering new venture - a community owned energy co-operative, set up by local people to install and run electricity generating solar panels on the roofs of state schools in the Waverley and Guildford area.

We have come up with a model that will provide each school with:

• an opportunity to produce renewable energy free of charge,
• Cut their carbon emissions by about 20 tonnes per year,
• an educational package to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency
• and an income stream once interest rates to investors reach over  6%

To raise the money the Co-operative is calling on the local community (but others are welcome) to invest in the scheme, in return investors are anticipated to receive returns of more than 5% and if you pay income tax may qualify for tax relief (equivalent to 30% of their investment in the scheme).
