Solar Together 

Solar Together South East Wales - buying solar panels and battery storage made easy.

Would you like to lower your energy bills while producing your own clean electricity? Installing Solar Panels with battery storage is a smart investment, helping you take control of your energy use while reducing your carbon footprint.

The Vale of Glamorgan Council is offering residents the opportunity to install high-quality solar panels at a competitive price. This supports our goal of reaching net zero as an organisation by 2030 and helping the county to achieve net zero by 2050. By generating your own electricity, you’ll rely less on the grid, cut your energy costs and help to reduce carbon emissions. 

The Vale of Glamorgan Council has partnered with iChoosr Ltd, who are independent experts in group-buying, to bring Solar Together to eligible homeowners. 

Solar Together South East Wales is an innovative new scheme offering high-quality solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and battery storage. It is a group-buying scheme, which brings households across The Vale together to get high-quality solar panels at a competitive price, helping you through the process and keeping you informed at every stage. Installing solar panels means you’ll use clean, free electricity for your home or business - saving money while helping to protect the environment. Take the first step towards greener, cheaper energy today!

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 Planning and Building Control

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.  Find out about the benefits of battery storage.  Registration ends on 6 June 2025.
