Hundreds of homes to get solar panels under trial – Energy Saver App featured on BBC News

The BBC is reporting how hundreds of homes in Oxfordshire are set to be fitted with solar panels through the government-backed Energy Saver App…

The county is trialling an approach where homeowners pay a fixed monthly fee for the upgrade – rather than having to pay out thousands of pounds upfront.

Oxfordshire County Council said it could save residents more than £300 a year.

Four hundred homes will get solar panels as part of the trial, with plans to install Air Source Heat Pumps for a further 200 properties.

The article features some of the first residents to have their solar panels installed under the scheme, including Barbara and John Hall from Upper Tadmarton, who say:

This scheme is just brilliant because you’re not having to pay out a big lump sum but you’re getting all the benefits.”

“We’ve been keen on solar panels but the cost has always been prohibitive.”

“The pay back of 10-12 years just didn’t make financial sense. And now with the scheme through the council, it does.”
