Work has already started on identifying other buildings in the area that could house the panels and batteries.
The group has received a £34,500 grant from Great British Energy towards setting up the scheme.
They would form a mini network which the group calls PlanGeo, named after the local electricity substation.
Mr Paulson explained that the “energy club model provides a real advantage” as the rate between people exporting power and importing power varies greatly.
“Currently, if you have solar panels on your roof and you export energy to the grid, you get quite a low export tariff,” he said.
“Highest at about 15p per unit, but can be as low as 3p a unit.”
He said that energy club members get paid a higher rate, “16p,17p a kilowatt hour is common in other places”.
The not-for-profit group have been in discussion with local social housing groups, that could see panels installed on homes across the area.
