Could solar panels help reduce your electricity bills? What difference could a battery make? And what are tenants saying about it?

Join us for a friendly, practical workshop as part of our new project. Together, we will explore solar panels, battery and wider home energy improvements, with time to ask questions and share what matters to you.

Whether you are interested, unsure or already have experience to share, we would like to hear from you. No technical knowledge is needed.

We are planning to bring this workshop to different communities, so you can choose a session that suits you.

• Your thoughts on climate change and homes
  What comes to mind when you hear “climate change” or “net zero”?
• We will start with an activity to hear your views and explore what these ideas mean in everyday life.
• Solar panels, batteries and practical benefits
  Explore how solar panels and batteries work, their potential to lower electricity bills and offer greater energy independence, and the challenges and limitations to consider.
• We will also touch on plug-in solar and wider improvements that can help make homes more comfortable.
• Funding, support and housing standards
  Find out about relevant funding and support, including Welsh home energy programmes, and how housing standards and energy efficiency policies relate to different types of homes.

Your questions and feedback will help us understand what residents need to feel informed and supported when considering home energy improvements. Learning from the workshops will inform our conversations with housing providers, Welsh Government and other sector partners.
