There are more than 35 clubs that are part of the Energy Local initiative across Great Britain.
The first was set up in Bethesda, North Wales, in 2016, according to the company.
The future ambition for SELC is that it will continue to grow, bringing new consumers and generators onboard, Mr Kelly said.
“We’ve been looking for other reasonably sized generators in the town, and one of the ones that are keen to help are the churches,” he explained.
“The Catholic Church and Methodist Church in Settle have deliberately put a lot more solar panels on than they need for their own consumption in order they have surplus energy to export to the club.”
Mr Robinson added that it was “an exciting journey” to be able to share renewable energy across the town.”
“I think the scheme should grow all over Yorkshire – I’m fairly passionate about how we leave our legacy,” he said.
