Funded Retrofit Surveys
Ferry Farm Community Solar can offer funding for energy efficiency surveys also known as 'retrofit surveys', targeting homes, schools, and community buildings in Selsey and Sidlesham.
What is a retrofit survey?
It’s essentially an audit of your building’s energy consumption, running costs, and carbon emissions. It will assess your building’s current performance and develop an action plan for cost-effective ways to optimise building systems through a range of cost effective, energy-saving measures. The recommendations can range from little steps to major interventions, helping you to understand the upfront costs, predicted future savings and the practicalities of getting it done.
What will it cover?

Follow-up: Solar Soft Loans
After conducting retrofit surveys, we’ll look to follow-up by offering 'Solar Soft Loans' to support energy-efficient upgrades. This funding model aims to install solar panels in schools and community buildings without the upfront costs. This support is particularly beneficial for organisations that lack funds to implement recommendations from the energy audits.
