cuttsie Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Why is Sheffield council not fitting solar panels to its social housing , Government grants are available so why not go ahead as the price of energy is now leading to people not being able to heat their homes . So come on Terry Fox our leader lets be knowing . or should we ask our top executive Kate Josephs who seems to spend a lot of time at Downing Street .

dan2802 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The council can't afford to fix a few pot holes & keep the drains clear. How are they going to afford thousands of solar panels, inverters etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I suppose any help from any place is always welcome. The main issue is the Gas. I've started using my electric fire instead of the gas fire. With the gas fire a lot of the heat goes up the chimney too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they have loads of money for daft schemes such as rainbow crossings and pulling markets down then building new ones on borrowed money that are going to take 50 years to repay so where is the logic , The citizens or daft enterprises /.

HeHasRisen Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Ah, so this was just another excuse to crowbar the closure of Castle Market in. Cuttsie is as Cuttsie does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassett one Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 they are re-roofing all council houses,but what amazes me , if theres a semi detached and they think one needs doing now and next canwait as its a 6 year programe,there saying they will come back to those later,now if they are going to do solar panels,why not fit them at the same time and take what the goverment are offering,we have a labour/green party in charge.

You must be daft if you think that if SCC installed solar panels on council properties then it would make electricity cheaper for its tenants.

I dont know any roofers that are qualified electrians or qualified to install solar panels. You would be complaining if they fitted solar panels before they fitted a new roof.

carosio Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) On the face of it they seem an excellent idea and perhaps they are, but I would want to know how long they last (efficiency), could they be easily replaced if one breaks/goes faulty in 5/10 years time, and how much extra will the insurance (Council) be?
