Launching Mo's Solar Mission
Discover Mo's Solar Mission, a community-powered solar initiative where schools can be nominated, supported and considered for a community-funded installation.
What is Mo's Solar Mission
Mo's Solar Mission is a community-driven initiative designed to help schools in the UK gain access to solar energy through collective support. The system allows individuals to nominate properties for a potential solar installation and gather support through votes, boosts, and contributions. The goal is to create a transparent and interactive way for communities to prioritise who receives support based on engagement. The mission operates as part of the wider Kilowatts.uk platform, which focuses on connecting users with renewable energy solutions and local installers.
How the Mission Works
The process is structured around participation and visibility. Users can nominate a school, support existing nominations, and follow progress through a live system. Users can explore active participants through the solar mission leaderboard, where rankings are updated dynamically.
