Buying Solar panels and battery storage made easy
Would you like to save on your energy bills and generate your own clean electricity? Monmouthshire County Council is offering homeowners and small businesses the opportunity to install high-quality solar PV systems at a competitive price, helping us to make the Monmouthshire a fairer, greener, more successful place to live and working towards making Wales net zero by 2050
Monmouthshire County Council has partnered with iChoosr Ltd, who are independent experts in group-buying, to bring Solar Together to Monmouthshire’s homeowners.
Solar Together Cardiff Capital Region is an innovative new scheme offering high-quality solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and battery storage. It is a group-buying scheme, which brings Monmouthshire households together to get high-quality solar panels at a competitive price, helping you through the process and keeping you informed at every stage.
Planning Permission
Solar PV installations are considered a ‘permitted development’ and will generally not need planning permission. However, in some cases, such as in Conservation Areas and on Listed Buildings, planning permission may be required. For planning advice, please visit www.monmouthshire.gov.uk/planning
Do you already have solar panels installed?
You can also register to have battery storage added to your existing solar panels to maximise the benefits of your system.

How does it work?
1. Registration:
You can register for free and without obligation at https://solartogether.co.uk/monmouthshire. To register, you simply provide details about your roof, such as its size and orientation.
2. Auction:
A reverse auction will be held where our pre-vetted solar installers will submit bids for the work. The more people that register, the better the deal should be for each household. The installer with the most competitive package will win the auction.
3. Personal recommendation
You will be emailed your personal recommendation based on your registration details. This includes your costs and specifications of your system.
4. You decide
The decision is then yours whether you want to accept your recommendation. There is no obligation to continue. We will let you know how long you have to accept your recommendation and update you before the scheme closes.
5. Installation
If you accept, the winning installer will contact you to survey your roof and set an installation date.
Helpdesk support
Telephone and email support 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.
