Making installations more affordable
Supported by councils and authorities in the region, the Solar Together scheme aims to make solar PV systems more affordable for homeowners. By bringing residents together as a group, this scheme enables participants to save, on average, 10% to 25% against the typical market price for their solar PV installations. Additionally, they receive continual support and guidance from a team of solar experts.
Are you eligible for new scheme?
To participate, you need to own the property or have permission from the property owner to install a solar system on the roof. Small and medium-sized businesses and Commonhold Associations that meet these requirements can also participate.
Hassle-free process and added benefits
The registration process is hassle-free, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to switch to solar, while saving money.
How it works:
1. Register: Show your interest for free at solartogether.co.uk before 6 June 2025.
2. Auction: Solar Together hosts an auction where trusted installers compete to give their best price.
3. Personal recommendation: Get a system recommendation based on your home and energy requirements.
4. Make a choice: You can decide whether you want to move forward with the installation.
By registering, you will also learn how much you could save on your energy bills with solar panels and battery storage and how much you could earn by exporting excess energy.
In addition to these benefits, you can choose to install optional battery storage or electric vehicle charge points.
Impact and endorsements
The initiative has already created a significant impact in the region by successfully installing 9,500 solar panels. The Solar Together initiative is working in partnership with boroughs in Bedfordshire, including endorsements from community leaders and local authorities such as:
● Bedford Borough Council
● Central Bedfordshire Council
● Luton Council
