Sign up for Solar Power London 2022

Have you considered generating your own energy by installing solar panels in your home? If so, you can sign up today for Solar Together London, a scheme open to all residents interested in installing solar panels on their roofs. Delivered by the Council in partnership with the Mayor of London, and iChoosr, Solar Together London is a collective purchasing scheme that brings residents together to purchase high-quality solar panels at a competitive price, supporting our aim to increase renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions.

iChoosr, an independent expert in group buying schemes, has worked with more than 160 councils to help residents collectively purchase solar panels.

What is the council doing?

In 2019 the council declared a climate emergency and committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions. We have also installed solar panels on a number of our buildings including the largest array on the top of Gibson Road car park. There you can find nearly 500 panels elevated above 57 parking spaces. The council's solar panels generate around 180,000 kWh of electricity per year, saving us approximately £21,000 a year in energy bills and reducing carbon emissions by over 97,000 kg of CO2 per year.
