SE24 prepares for its next share offer SE24 is growing quickly. Hot on the heels of completing our 2024 projects with London and South East Academy Trust we have opportunity to undertake another five solar PV installations with them…

At @se24.bsky.social we have a great track record installing solar PV and LED lighting at schools and our investors get a return. We are working on our next share offer - more information here se24.co.uk/2025/11/12/s...

It is already over halfway to its Β£2 million target raise, thanks to reinvestment

The impact of investing couldn't be clearer: More UK schools will benefit from solar installations, cutting carbon emissions, saving money on bills and educating students on sustainability and green careers.

🎯 What's better than hitting a target?

πŸ—“οΈ Doing so several weeks before deadline.

We're delighted that our bond offer on Ethex has now exceeded its Β£500,000 target by 27%, with almost two months left to run.

The bond will remain open, meaning that more investors can take advantage of this... (1/2)

When decisions are made locally, we get energy that’s democratic, resilient, and rooted in community. It’s time to trust local people to lead the energy transition.

And they have extended the offer term by 1 month to help them achieve this and allow more investors to come on board

So you have more time to join them in helping create a greener future for Kent by investing to fund a pipeline of solar installations on community buildings

In doing this, they'll not only be generating clean solar energy but also enabling the organisations to save 25% on their electricity bills.

This is a great chance to use your money to support the growth of clean, homegrown energy that benefits people who need it most, while targeting a 6% return.
