Types of funding and finance. Grants, loans, rental, and lease options (particularly roof space for solar)

Types of projects and suggested funding or finance routes, solar on a factory, solar on a village hall, LED in a warehouse that sort of thing

Sources of funding and finance, local authority grants, government grants/subsidies (Workplace charging schemes, cycle to work) Banks (High st & alternative) alternative lenders and community energy.
