RenewWeCare secures £100,000 funding

The family business has developed the world’s first commercial solar module access system, which allows safe access and zero pressure to the glass of various solar module arrays.

Walking on the panels often led to damage and also injury to the operative, due to the slippery and inclined surfaces.

RenewWeCare’s solar module access frame minimises glass fractures, provides a much safer working environment and also allows solar panels to be replaced three times faster.

Eric said: “The comments we have received from health and safety managers to area managers and all the way up to directors at various photovoltaic companies has been amazing. Comments include ‘changing the industry forever’ and ‘at last we have a safe system of work’.

Paul Humphray, MSIF investment director, said: “The product the Couling family has created is great. It is the only product of its kind in the world and a great achievement in improving the health and safety of the solar panel industry. "The product has received a large amount of interest, and with a great team working on the business it has a lot of potential. I look forward to following the growth of RenewWeCare and am happy MSIF were able to assist with the funding required.”
