Getting people to contribute to the costs of a scheme with no payback time would be well neigh impossible.
Getting a social housing scheme to pay so much should fail for the same reason!
Better insulation will give the same annual gas savings for far less cost!
Solar may be a good idea but not at current costs.

Sorry I should have gone into more detail. I'm currently working on a new build 40 flats with twin coil cyl in each flat and panels on roof. Personally I don't think the set up will work. Resol controller in each flat, sensor cables from panels brought down into each flat, pump connection on resol feeding overheat stat > feeding 2 port valve, orange of valve turns communal pump on roof. I think extending the sensor cables will be inaccurate, and the heat loss will be immense over those distances.
I just wondered if anyone on here has installed a similar system.

It could be made to work, but I doubt you have sufficient roof space for the area of collectors needed.
