Solar Together West Midlands 2025
The Solar Together West Midlands 2025 scheme has successfully supported households and small businesses across the region to install solar PV, battery storage and EV charging infrastructure, making a meaningful contribution to local net zero ambitions.
Delivered during an ongoing cost‑of‑living challenge, the scheme helped residents reduce energy bills, increase energy independence and invest in clean technologies through a trusted, council‑backed group buying model. More than 4,600 households and businesses registered their interest, resulting in 477 completed installations across the West Midlands.
The scheme delivered:
- 2.1 MW of installed solar PV capacity across 453 homes
- 94% of solar installations paired with battery storage, reflecting growing demand for self‑consumption
- £3.4 million in private investment into local renewable energy infrastructure
- An estimated 378 tonnes of carbon savings in the first year alone
Solar Together West Midlands 2025 accounted for 14% of all MCS‑registered domestic solar installations in the region during the delivery period, rising to 20% within participating local authority areas, demonstrating the scheme’s strong impact on regional deployment.
Customer outcomes were highly positive, with excellent satisfaction scores for both delivery partners and very low complaint levels throughout the programme. The scheme also supported the rollout of EV charging points and enabled small and medium‑sized enterprises to access competitive renewable energy solutions.
