A WORCESTERSHIRE-based provider of renewable energy systems will be among a group of green businesses aiming to show how people can lead more sustainable lives at an event organised by Prince Charles.

Going Solar, the company from Neen Sollars, near Tenbury Wells, will demonstrate the benefits of switching to solar power when it exhibits at the Garden Party to Make a Difference.

The event is part of Prince Charles’ Start initiative which aims not only to show what a more energy efficient, cleaner and healthier future could look like, but also how to make manageable steps towards a greener lifestyle.

It will take place in the grounds of Clarence House, London, from next Wednesday to Sunday, September 19.

Going Solar partners Charles Houston, James Meynell and Andy Perkins will be on hand to explain to visitors about the grants and incentives available to homeowners, businesses and organisations as well as the wide variety of renewable energy solutions.

Mr Houston said: “Going Solar is delighted to be able to play its part in raising awareness of building a more sustainable future. There’s plenty of solar energy in this country to make a difference and the technology is well-developed and efficient.”

The 12-day festival, which will also be held along The Mall and in the gardens of Lancaster House and Marlborough House, will feature more than 2,000 square metres of exhibition space, showing a vast array of products and displays designed to encourage a sustainable way of life. More details are available at startuk.org.

Going Solar specialises in providing large solar PV systems as well as across-the-board renewable energy solutions for medium-to-large businesses and organisations.
