B&NES residents and local businesses are being offered an easy way to invest in solar panels and battery storage to power their homes with clean energy and support the Council’s net zero carbon ambitions.
Interested homeowners can register with the Solar Together West of England group-buying scheme for free, providing details about their roof size and orientation. An auction will be held at which pre-vetted solar installers will submit bids for the work. Homeowners will then be sent costs and specifications for their system, but there is no obligation to proceed to installation.
Businesses with a small or medium sized roof that could take up to 25 panels can also register for the scheme.
You can find more information about the how the scheme works on the Council’s Energy at Home website.
