What is Solar Together and is it a grant?
Short answer
Solar Together, now Switch Together, is a council-backed group-buying scheme run by iChoosr. Households register free, installers bid in an auction, and you receive a no-obligation offer for solar panels with optional battery. It lowers prices through bulk buying but is not a grant; you pay the full offer price.
