Thank you for the em...I got a reply from Lewisham:<br /><br />Thank you for the email that you sent to Andrew Potter.<br /> <br />I can inform you that we are researching the possibility of erecting solar panels and we have actually completed a small number of installations to houses as a pilot study.<br /> <br />There are however a number of obstacles to installing solar panels to blocks of flats, mainly arising from the fact that there is no practical way of apportioning and delivering the free electricity that is generated to all of the residents in the block. A potential solution is to connect the solar generated electricity to the communal lighting and power circuit but there is an obvious problem in that the solar electricity is generated during the day whereas the communal lighting is mainly used at night.<br /> <br />A further drawback is that should it be necessary to carry out roof repairs during the life of the solar panels the cost of removing and reinstating them would fall to Lewisham Homes and would have to be apportioned to the leaseholders.<br /> <br />If it is decided to go ahead with solar panel installations following the completion of our research we will be in contact with the residents of the properties that are selected for inclusion in the programme.<br /> <br />Regards<br /> <br />Colin Dawes BSC MRICS<br />Asset Investment Manager <br />Lewisham Homes <br />0208 613 4242Michelenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-49920065705698065212011-09-01T20:05:13.543+01:002011-09-01T20:05:13.543+01:00I checked out the Freetricity offer but they said ...I checked out the Freetricity offer but they said they couldn't do it because our roof isn't free of chimneys, windows, vents and other obstructions, and there is limited access for scaffolding or other installation equipment.<br /><br />I also did some googling and having established that this wasn't a scam I found that the roof needs to be able to last the 25 years that the panels are guaranteed for or else you end up paying to remove and reinstall the panels when the roof is due for repair. Plus it works so that the roof is leased to freetricity (or whoever is the supplier). Can't see a lot of leaseholders going for this...Mushroomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-54991003718291285272011-08-31T00:57:28.449+01:002011-08-31T00:57:28.449+01:00Here is the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epi...Here is the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b013n5gl/TOWN_with_Nicholas_Crane_Totnes/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-10741909416411042102011-08-31T00:56:48.499+01:002011-08-31T00:56:48.499+01:00There was a documentary on Totnes last week on the...There was a documentary on Totnes last week on the telly where they said about 120 low income houses have now got solar panels.

I noticed Lewisham Police station have a planning application in for some. <br /><br />Unfortunately by the time Lewisham Homes gets round to even thinking about it (say, about five or six years) all the money will be gone, and all those posh households in Brockley and Greenwish will have gobbled it up now you've publicised the freebie.
