Who are we?
We’re a team of solar industry professionals who know firsthand the challenges homeowners face when it comes to choosing the right solar installer. Over the past two years, we’ve worked with countless homeowners, witnessing the confusion, the frustration, and the tough decisions that come with making the switch to solar energy.
Our mission is simple, to make the solar installation process easier, clearer, and more accessible. We believe that everyone deserves a smooth, stress-free transition to clean, renewable energy. By combining our expertise with a genuine understanding of what homeowners need, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
How does it work?
Neighbourhood Solar brings together homeowners who want to install solar panels, making the process simpler, more affordable and stress-free. By joining forces, members eliminate the uncertainty of choosing an installer on their own, as Gleneaston Solar, an experienced and trusted provider, handles every step. With shared knowledge, group support, and a streamlined installation process, members can move forward with confidence, knowing they’re getting high-quality solar at the best value.
Here's how it works:
Formation of the group
We bring together groups of homeowners interested in installing solar, forming a local community of like-minded individuals. By joining forces, members benefit from a streamlined process, cost savings, and expert guidance—all while eliminating the stress of navigating the solar journey alone.
Group Conversations
Each group is supported by dedicated solar advisors who provide honest, transparent, and unbiased guidance. Since we are not commission-driven salespeople, our focus is solely on helping you make informed decisions. Members can also engage with each other, sharing insights and experiences to build confidence in their solar investment.
Installation
After confirming participation, a site visit will be scheduled for each household. Since every home is unique, our team conducts a personalized assessment to design a system that best meets your energy needs. Once you're satisfied with the proposal, installation is carried out by our professional team with efficiency and care.
Ongoing Support
As a member of Neighbourhood Solar, you’ll be part of a community of homeowners who have installed solar systems together. You’ll have the opportunity to stay connected, share experiences, ask questions, and enjoy the long-term benefits of solar energy—backed by Gleneaston Solar’s dedicated aftercare and support.
Why install as a group?
Cost Reduction
By joining a residential solar community, homeowners can take advantage of group purchasing power, which helps lower the costs of solar panel systems, installation, and other associated fees. Bulk buying often leads to discounts, making solar energy more affordable.
Access to Expertise
Residential groups provide members with access to experts and solar advocates who can guide the decision-making process. This includes helping homeowners navigate the complexities of solar installation, financing, and local regulations.
Reduced Energy Bills
After installation, homeowners can generate their own electricity and reduce their reliance on the grid, leading to lower monthly electricity bills. In most cases, excess energy can be sold back to the grid, further offsetting costs.
Environmental Impact
Homeowners in residential solar communities help reduce their carbon footprint by switching to clean, renewable energy. This collective effort contributes to a broader reduction in fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions.
Simplified Process
Residential solar communities streamline the entire process for homeowners, from choosing the right system to handling installation and financing. This makes the transition to solar easier for homeowners who might otherwise be intimidated by the technicalities of the process.
Increased Energy Independence
By adopting solar energy, homeowners reduce their dependence on external electricity providers, which can be especially important during power outages or times of grid instability.
Community Impact
Residential solar groups often foster a sense of community as homeowners come together to support shared energy goals. They may also work to promote sustainability within their neighborhoods and inspire others to consider solar adoption.
What is a community-driven solar group?
A community-driven solar group brings together individuals, businesses, or organizations to install solar energy collectively.
By working as a community, members navigate the entire installation process together, making it more efficient, less stressful, and ultimately more rewarding.
This collaborative approach helps homeowners secure better pricing on solar systems while allowing installers to reduce marketing costs and streamline multiple installations within the same area.
