A scheme designed to boost the uptake of solar panel technology among Worcestershire residents is getting another roll-out.
Worcestershire County Council said a similar programme last year had been successful in moving people to renewable forms of energy, adding the scheme offered installation at competitive prices.
More than 500 residents installed solar panels under the earlier project, according to the authority, which estimated the move saved more than 9,000 tonnes of carbon over the panels’ expected 25-year lifespan.
Residents and businesses have until 9 August to register their interest in the project’s forthcoming round.
Through savings delivered to the council via group-buying, parties expressing an interest would be given a quote for the cost of installation, and could then decide if they wished to proceed or not, the council said.
The scheme offered a 10-year warranty, added the authority, which also stated that installers would only be appointed having gone through a rigorous vetting process.
Adopters may also have battery storage and electric vehicle charging points installed as part of the programme.
