Selce’s 2nd LED Share Offer Coming Soon

LAUCHING SOON: Our second LED lighting share offer, and sixth share offer overall: we are seeking investors to fund energy efficient lighting to be installed at Marvels Lane School in Lewisham.

💡 LED lighting requires around 70% less energy than fluorescent lighting, which persist in many schools and other public buildings.

💡At Edmund Waller, another school previously fitted with LED lights by Selce, the school is now saving almost £20,000 per year as a result and saving 8 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. LEDs also contribute towards an improved general wellbeing, fewer migraines and eye strain for pupils and staff members, due to their flicker-free nature.

💡By investing together, there’s so much we can do for people and planet. We are stronger together.

Share offer to fund a solar array at Invicta Primary School in Blackheath

You are invited to invest in a solar array at Invicta Primary School, 18 Invicta Rd, London SE3 7HF.

This will be Selce’s 12th community financed solar site: to date we own and operate over half a megawatt of community financed solar that has generated over 3 million kWh of solar electricity to date.

This 39KWp solar array is projected to generate 35K kWh of solar electricity. The school is projected to reduce their costs by more than £100,000 over 20 years.

Any project surplus goes to supporting Selce’s fuel poverty alleviation programme.

Accessing energy from solar will reduce approximate equivalent of 5802kg of CO2 each year.

Based upon our financial model, using the assumptions above, we forecast that we will be able to provide an interest rate of 4%. We will also provide full capital repayment in year 20. This model is based on the proviso that we will not return capital invested by members for the first three years. After three years, income will be available to repay members incrementally.

More Info + Our Installer

The school also provides a nursery, after-school and breakfast clubs and is a vital part of the community for 780 pupils and their families.

This share offer is a little different from previous ones in that the solar array has already been installed on the school’s Blackheath site.

The panels were installed in the Autumn 2024 half term after the necessary capital for the supply and installation of the solar PV was provided through a bridging loan from a philanthropic lender. The community share offer will cover the repayment of the loan plus interest, which comes to a total of £33,000.

Our installer, Photon Energy, was selected on the basis of a rigorous competitive tender process in which each installer was scored against weighed criteria of cost, quality of equipment, accreditations and contribution to the local economy.

Photon Energy is an MCS-registered company and comply with the Renewable Energy Consumer Code. Established in 2006, the company has received several awards including most recently the Solar and Storage Awards 2021 Contractor of the Year. They are also a Living Wage accredited employer.
