What is Solar Together?
Watford residents can once again take advantage of the chance to join the 'Solar Together' group solar panel purchase scheme, following the success of last year's effort, where over 400 solar panels have been installed and more scheduled by the end of the year.
Organised by the Watford Borough Council in partnership with independent experts iChoosr, this initiative known as ‘Solar Together’ was launched last year in the town. Its aim is to encourage people in Watford to switch to solar energy, which is better for the environment, and reduce their carbon footprint.
By joining forces to buy solar panels in bulk, the scheme can get them at a lower cost and share the savings with participants, offering a great deal on high-quality solar panels.
The success of last year's scheme
Since the launch of the scheme, more than 51 households in Watford have had solar panels installed so far, which are predicted to save these households a combined total of £50,000 each year on their energy bills. Additionally, over a span of 25 years, it is predicted there will be 815 tonnes of carbon reduction, which is a big win for the environment!
This innovative scheme builds on six years of highly successful Solar Together programmes run across the UK. To date Solar Together has delivered over 22,000 installations and over 460,000 tonnes of avoided lifetime carbon emissions.
How to register
It is free to register at solartogether.co.uk/watford/home and there is no obligation to go ahead with an installation. The offers include solar panels with optional battery storage and EV charge points, as well as retrofit battery storage.
Cleaner, Greener Watford
As the world continues to tackle climate change, initiatives like the Watford group buying scheme will play an increasingly important role in reducing carbon emissions and building sustainable communities.
