The Solar Together Sussex group buying scheme allows residents to invest together in solar panels and battery storage.
Wealden residents can join the group-buying scheme which offers solar panels with optional battery storage and EV charge points, as well as retrofit battery storage for residents who have already invested in solar panels.
Registering is free with no purchase obligation, any work carried out will be via pre-approved installers.
Wealden District Council are working on the scheme in partnership with East Sussex County Council, Eastbourne, Lewes, Hastings and Rother councils along with independent experts iChoosr.
How the scheme works
- Householders can register online to become part of the group for free and without obligation.
- Pre-approved UK solar PV suppliers participate in a reverse auction. They are able to offer competitive pricing as the volume and geographic concentration makes it possible for them to realise greater efficiencies, which they pass on with lower prices for installations.
- After the auction, registered households will be emailed a personal recommendation which is specific to the details they submitted in their registration.
- If they choose to accept their recommendation, the specifics of their installation will be confirmed with a technical survey after which a date can be set for the installation of their solar PV system.
- Telephone and email helpdesks are on-hand throughout the whole process which, together with information sessions, will allow households to make an informed decision in a safe and hassle-free environment.
