Edinburgh Community Solar Co-operative raises capital from the public to place solar panel installations on City of Edinburgh Council buildings (schools, leisure centres and other council owned buildings). Through our Community Fund, our profits are allocated as grants to community causes that both align with the co-op’s objectives and benefit the people of Edinburgh.
