Solar SOAS

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY Solar SOAS!

Today marks exactly *five* years since 114 solar panels were installed on the roof of the SOAS Main Building. This was part of a successful student-led project to set up a community energy project at SOAS. The panels are owned and run by the SOAS community, and they've been generating electricity (and £££ from the government) ever since.

To celebrate, the Solar SOAS Green Community Fund has been increased to £5,000 this year - which is open and available to students, staff, and alumni with environmental project ideas to benefit SOAS. Check out more details and how to apply here - http://www.uni-solar.org/apply-for-the-community-fund - Deadline is November 15th.

We are also running a Solar Tour of the panels on Thursday 30th September at 1:00PM, meeting on the SOAS Main Building steps! Please come along if you'd like a rare chance to get up on the SOAS roof to check out the panels and the lovely view. No need to book! These tours happen less than once a year, so please do come along if you can. Please note the tour involves climbing a steep ladder, as this is the only way to access the roof (apologies about this). Hope to see you there!

The 2019 Green Community Fund is now OPEN!!

Have you got an environmental project or campaign idea that you'd like to see happen at SOAS? Apply for the £2000 Green Community Fund!

This money has been raised from the solar panels on the roof of the SOAS Main Building, which were installed in 2016 as part of the student project Solar SOAS.

The fund is always undersubscribed, so we strongly encourage you to apply if you've got an idea! If you have any questions, please email [email protected]. Check out requirement
