ALL IN SOLAR

We build your city solar strategy.

Your city already has the buildings, infrastructure, people and partners. We take a whole-of-city approach: we find the opportunities, connect the right expertise and build the strategy with you.

See what your city can do

Four ways a city can go all in solar.

  • Turn what the city already owns into energy.

    • Schools
    • Offices
    • Sports facilities
    • Parking
    • Public land
    • Shelters
    Map your city's assets

  • Remove the friction that stops residents and businesses.

    • Solar maps
    • Energy offices
    • One-stop-shops
    • Planning guidance
    • Permitting support
    Make solar easier

  • Give everyone a way to take part, roof or no roof.

    • Balcony solar
    • Community solar
    • Energy communities
    • Citizen financing
    • Local incentives
    Build a city solar programme

  • Bring departments, businesses and partners together.

    • Departments
    • Businesses
    • Installers
    • Financiers
    • Researchers
    • Other cities
    Connect your ecosystem

Involve your citizens.

A city is one of the best partners citizens can have in taking part in the energy transition and benefiting from solar power.

A city can coordinate the ecosystem, provide resources and — crucially — establish trust.

  • 01

    Energy communities

    People participate collectively in local renewable generation.

  • 02

    Shared solar

    People can benefit from solar generation without needing a suitable roof.

  • 03

    Citizen finance

    Residents take part through appropriate funding and investment mechanisms.

  • 04

    Information & education

    Workshops, education and demonstrations make participation easier.

  • 05

    Neighbourhood programmes

    Local initiatives bring solar into neighbourhood life.

  • 06

    Demonstration projects

    Visible local projects make participation tangible.

Create a citizen solar programme

Solar doesn't have to stop at the rooftop.

Small opportunities can add up.

A city-wide approach to solar

Solar works best when the people, expertise and resources across a city are connected. We help bring the right stakeholders together — from political leadership and public services to businesses, installers and citizens — to strengthen how your city identifies and activates solar opportunities.

Point at a role to see what it can contribute.

As mayor / political leadership, you can set the ambition and align departments behind it.

This helps projects move faster and survive changes in priorities.

Connect your local ecosystem

Cities are already trying new ways to go solar.

Examples of what cities are doing, as documented by SolarPower Europe. These are not ALL IN SOLAR projects.

  • Brussels

    What they did

    Created a public solar map showing estimated rooftop potential and related energy, environmental and financial information.

    What this shows

    A city can make solar potential visible before residents or businesses commit to a project.

Show us your city

Go from a project to a strategy.

You don't need to arrive with a complete solar strategy. Start with one opportunity, or start with the bigger picture.

A coordinated city-wide view

We assess or develop a specific solar opportunity.
