Energy prices are rising and many people are looking for ways to lower their bills.

At South Ribble Borough Council we know it can be difficult to know where to start - choosing the right system, finding a trusted installer and understanding the costs and savings. We have partnered with MakeMyHouseGreen, a trusted solar panel installer, to give residents clear advice and support, before you decide whether to spend any money.

MakeMyHouseGreen is here to help you find out more about your options for solar panels, battery storage and home EV charge points for residential properties, community buildings and small business properties.

MakeMyHouseGreen can help you find out whether solar panels and batteries are suitable for your property, how much they may cost, how much you could save, and how much electricity you could make.

They can also help with any planning questions - in most cases, including houses in conservation areas, solar panels can be installed without planning permission.

South Ribble residents, owners of community buildings and businesses can get a £600 discount on installation costs. Visit the MakeMyHouseGreen/south-ribble  website for more information and to get started. 

You can also use the free South Ribble Homewise tool for independent advice on making your home warmer, healthier and more energy efficient. Search online for South Ribble Homewise.
