The Solar Together scheme
 

Solar Together scheme launches in borough – Melton Borough Council

 

The Solar Together scheme is now live until August. Can you make this opportunity known to residents who might be interested?

 

Running for the fourth year, the scheme has been used by 100s of our residents and 1000s Surrey wide.

 

it is a collective buying scheme for solar PV (and battery and EV charging). It is aimed at primarily privately owned homes. It isn't a grant scheme but the price will be reasonable. So it is aimed at the ‘able to pay’ market. The scheme has the advantage is pre-vetted installers and support for customers from iChoosr (who run it) and SCC.
