Lambeth Community Solar (LCS) is a Community Benefit Society, which is a type of co-op. LCS follows Repowering’s award winning model which ensures that financial returns are locked into Lambeth and delivered back to the community, thereby delivering a truly socially responsible energy project. For more info on the Repowering model click here.

Once the solar panels are installed, the project generates an income through the sale of electricity, with help from a Government subsidy called the Feed-in-Tariff.

Shareholders automatically become members of the Community Benefit Society, they can vote and have a say in how the project is run. Local residents can become members for £1, rather than having to invest and everyone has the same vote.

Shareholders will receive annual interest payments on their investment, at approximately 3% per year. By purchasing shares in LCS, your money will be immediately invested locally, saving carbon emissions and bringing a wide range of benefits to the community.

Your capital is at risk when you invest, so never risk more than you can afford to lose. Prospective investors should be aware that the value of the shares  cannot go up, but can go down. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. If you are in any doubt you should consult a financial adviser.
