North East Lincolnshire residents team up for cheaper solar power

A new group-buying scheme is making it easier and more affordable for North East Lincolnshire households to invest in solar energy. The Solar Together initiative allows residents to register for free and access competitively priced solar panel installations, battery storage systems, and electric vehicle (EV) charge points.

The programme, run in partnership with North East Lincolnshire Council and energy transition experts iChoosr, brings together homeowners to benefit from bulk pricing. By joining the scheme, participants can reduce their reliance on the national grid and take greater control of their energy use.

The process begins with residents registering their interest online. Approved UK solar providers then bid in a reverse auction to offer the most competitive rates. Each participant receives a personalized recommendation tailored to their property and needs. If they choose to proceed, a technical survey is carried out before installation.

Those with existing solar panels can also opt for retrofit battery storage to maximise the benefits of their current system. Help desks and information sessions support residents throughout, aiming to simplify the move to cleaner energy.

Solar Together has been running across the UK since 2015, helping to cut carbon emissions and household energy bills through community-led solar adoption.
