Switch Together Solar

A Switch Together scheme is live in Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council.
Register by 26 April 2026 to receive a personal solar and battery offer.

What is Switch Together?

The Council has partnered with Switch Together to offer a trusted group-buying scheme that brings households together to access better-priced, high-quality home upgrades - such as solar panels and battery storage - making it easier to switch to clean energy with confidence.

How Switch Together works

1. Register your interest
   Free and with no obligation. Register online to tell us a bit about your home and what you’re interested in.
2. Group buying auction
   Vetted installers compete in a reverse auction to offer the best-value solar and battery packages for your area.
3. Personal recommendation
   You’ll receive a tailored offer based on your property, energy use, and goals.
4. Make your decision
   You choose whether to go ahead. Support is available by phone or email if you want help understanding your options.
5. Installation and savings
   If you accept, your system is installed by an MCS-accredited installer, with a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee as standard.

Optional upgrades

Alongside solar panels, you can also choose to add battery storage to use more of your own energy, or a compatible EV charger if you drive electric.

All installations meet strict industry standards and are fully insurance-backed, giving you confidence in a long-term investment in your home.
