7. Solar Together

Solar Together 2024 is now closed. Look out for a scheme in 2025.

In the meantime you maybe eligible for grant schemes such as Home Upgrade Grant (Action Surrey) (for off-gas grid properties) or Great British Insulation Scheme (Action Surrey). Look out for the Warm Homes initiative coming in 2025. There's an offer of thermal surveys and free loft insulation from EARR. Also Surrey County Council are running their subsidised whole house assessment One Stop Shop.

Solar PV for private properties

Solar Together is the Surrey wide scheme for solar panel and battery buying. Surrey County Council works with iChoosr to select a vetted supplier that offers a good price for at scale solar installations.
  • you register
  • get a quote
  • decide if you want to go ahead.

With such demand for solar photovoltaic (PV) at the moment, one of the key advantages of this scheme is having confidence you will get an installation from a company that has the capacity to deliver. 

The scheme is for private domestic property. It has run twice before benefiting hundreds of homes in our borough. If you already have solar PV you can apply for batteries in this new scheme.

Generating your own clean electricity is a great way to cut carbon emissions, save money on bills and contributes to the UK's energy security.  

Although the scheme is primarily for private domestic properties, small businesses can also apply.
