Swindon and Wiltshire residents still have time to invest in renewable energy generation through a group-buying scheme for solar panels and battery storage.
Swindon Borough Council are working in partnership with Wiltshire Council and independent experts iChoosr, to deliver the Solar Together Wiltshire scheme which aims to make the
transition to clean energy as cost effective and hassle-free as possible.
The scheme launched on 9th May, and people have until the end of today to register their obligation free interest, joining more than 8,000 people across Swindon and Wiltshire who have
already registered.
The initiative offers solar panels with optional battery storage and EV charge points, as well as offering battery storage for residents who have already invested in solar panels and are looking to get more from the renewable energy they generate and increase their
independence from the grid.
People can also select whether they’d like to discuss options to
divert solar energy to power the immersion heater in their hot water tank if they have one.
Councillor Keith Williams, Swindon Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Finance and Commercialisation, said: “It’s fantastic to see so many residents interested in
the Solar Together scheme. This innovative group-buying scheme gives Swindon residents the chance to install high quality solar panels and battery storage at a competitive price, while also being guided through the process by experts.
“If you haven’t already registered, it’s really worth taking five minutes to look at the webpage and enter your details – there’s no obligation to go ahead at this stage so you can decide
once you receive a personal recommendation, which will include specifications and costs.”
