Solar Together Suffolk, a scheme which has helped over 1,500 homes to install solar panels and batteries, has officially opened for new registrations.

The scheme helps homeowners feel confident that they are paying the right price for a high-quality installation from pre-approved installers, whilst increasing their independence from the grid and reducing their carbon emissions.

Solar Together Suffolk is supported by Suffolk County Council and all local borough and district councils.

The scheme is open to anyone interested in:


• installing new solar panels (with the option for battery storage and EV charge points)

• adding battery storage to an existing solar panel array.

Councillor Andy Drummond, chair of the Suffolk Environment Portfolio Holders Group, said: "This is the fifth year that Solar Together Suffolk has been rolled out, and I expect it will prove the most popular yet. With electricity prices continuing to climb, more and more homeowners are looking into their own solar power as a way to generate their own clean energy and reduce their bills.

"However, investing in solar panels and battery storage can be a daunting project to take on – knowing who to approach, comparing quotes, trying to understand the complexity of the products or how the process works.

"But Solar Together Suffolk does all that work for you. All you have to do is register your details, and Solar Together will send you a competitive, personalised quote from an approved installer. There is nothing to pay until you decide you want to go ahead with your installation."
