Executive Summary <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

OCS partnered with Stirling Council<\/a> to deliver one of the UK\u2019s largest local authority-led solar PV and battery storage programmes. Over eight years, the \u00a321 million project equipped more than 5,000 homes with high-spec solar PV systems and Tesla Powerwall batteries. The initiative aimed to reduce carbon emissions, combat fuel poverty, and future-proof homes with reliable, renewable energy \u2014 making a lasting impact on both people and the planet.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \n\n

    The Outcome<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    We helped Stirling Council become one of the UK\u2019s most solar-enabled local authorities. More than 4,800 homes now benefit from low-carbon, low-cost energy. Tenants have gained control over their energy use, while the council has made progress towards net zero goals. We delivered a scalable, future-proof solution that prioritises people and the planet.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
