Scheme helps to save money on solar panels

A NEW energy scheme is giving people in North West Leicestershire the opportunity to invest in solar panels and save money where installers bid the lowest rate for each job.

In partnership with North West Leicestershire District Council, Solar Together Leicestershire is helping people looking to make an investment in solar panels on their house and battery storage systems for a reduced rate.

Residents who register will be entered into an auction, where solar panel systems suppliers compete by offering the lowest rate for solar panel installation. The more people registered, the lower the price can be.

Working with ichoosr, Solar Together then provides those signed up with a free, no obligation offer from the successful energy supplier.

North West Leicestershire District Council is working towards its Zero Carbon Roadmap to be carbon neutral by 2030, with the aim of then seeing the whole district carbon neutral by 2050.

Signing up is free for residents and opens from this week. For more information and to sign up, visit www.nwleics.gov.uk/solar

Registration closes on June 14 with the selection revealed from Monday 4 July onwards.
