Battle resident wins £100: could you be next?

Battle resident Sasha has won £100 worth of vouchers to spend at independent shops in Battle after winning the first prize draw for Battle Solar Town’s community solar survey.

Two more £100 voucher draws are still to come. Residents of Battle, Telham and Netherfield can complete the survey and opt into the prize draw in just a few minutes at battlesolartown.uk/survey.

The survey asks residents about their views and experiences of solar energy. Whether they already have panels, are considering them or feel solar isn’t for them, their answers will help Battle Solar Town provide impartial information that meets local needs.

Nicky Bishop, Chair of Battle Solar Town, said: “We want to hear from the whole community, whatever people’s views on solar. Understanding their questions, experiences and concerns helps us share useful, impartial information so residents can make informed choices about their home energy.”

Sasha said: “I don’t have solar panels, but I’m curious about them, so I was happy to share my views. The survey only took a few minutes and winning the vouchers was a lovely surprise.”

Battle Solar Town is a not-for-profit community group and does not sell solar panels. Its vision is for at least 25% of Battle’s electricity to come from local solar generation, helping the community become more resilient to changing energy prices. The group buys the prize vouchers from local independent shops, putting money back into the high street.

Paper copies of the survey are available at Battle Library and Netherfield Stores.
