Solar group-buying scheme nears final deadline in Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire homeowners have until 29 August to join a county-wide solar group-buying scheme offering discounted rates on solar panel systems and battery storage.

Run in partnership with Lincolnshire County Council, the scheme—called Solar Together—uses collective buying power to secure competitive deals from approved solar providers.

Hundreds of residents have already registered. There’s no upfront cost or obligation, and anyone who signs up will receive a tailored offer based on their home’s specifications.

The process begins with online registration, after which vetted installers bid for the work in a reverse auction. The most competitive offer is then matched to each household, with four weeks given to decide whether to proceed.

Alongside solar panels, the scheme includes optional battery storage, EV charge points, and retrofit battery systems for those with existing solar setups.

Participants may also benefit from exporting unused solar energy back to the grid, potentially earning additional income while reducing reliance on traditional power sources.

With just weeks remaining before registration closes, the scheme presents an accessible opportunity for households across Lincolnshire to invest in renewable energy without the typical complexity or pressure.
