The council declared a climate emergency in 2019.
Two key actions in our commitment to tackling climate change include
- an overarching goal to reach net zero emissions by 2030
- encouraging greener choices in local infrastructure, building and planning
A key part of reaching these goals is improving access to green energy sources, including solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and battery storage.
With this in mind, we have partnered with
- iChoosr Ltd - independent experts in group-buying and;
- the West of England Combined Authority
to bring Solar Together to North Somerset homeowners and make the purchase of solar panels more accessible.
Solar Together is an innovative scheme which uses the collective bargaining power of local households to access high-quality solar panels, battery storage and installation at a competitive price. They will help you through the process and keep you informed at every stage.
After two successful previous rounds, we’re running Solar Together for a third time.
Testimonials
People who have used the scheme before have told us
“When North Somerset Council contacted me with the idea of installing solar panels and a possible group negotiated lower cost for residents, my eyes lit up.
It felt like a very ‘green’ thing to do and at a good price - which for me included battery storage. Installation went well (all done in a day). Monthly electricity bills are less - an immediate pleasant surprise. I am happy and ‘green’” - David, North Somerset
