Residents and businesses across the West of England have another opportunity to cut their energy bills and reduce carbon emissions with the launch of Solar Together West of England.

This popular group-buying initiative, backed by Mayor Dan Norris and the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority, is now open for new applications.

Solar Together helps homeowners, renters (with landlord permission), and local businesses benefit from lower-cost solar panel installations by pooling demand to secure competitive prices. The scheme also offers the option to install battery storage and electric car charging points, enabling participants to maximise their energy savings and reduce reliance on the grid.

Mayor Dan Norris said “I’m delighted to open another round of Solar Together West of England. More than 1000 locals have taken action to switch to clean energy, bring down their bills, and help the region lead the charge on net zero.

Offering a straightforward and trusted process, at a competitive price, Solar Together can help residents make that important step towards a cleaner future.”

In previous rounds, over 1,200 households have benefited from the scheme, with more than 1,000 solar panel installations and 750 battery storage systems fitted helping the region move closer to its sustainability goals.

The scheme, delivered in partnership with local authorities, makes it straightforward for residents and businesses to switch to renewable energy. Registration is free and comes with no obligation, meaning participants can review a personalised offer before deciding whether to proceed.
