Offer gives county residents the opportunity to reduce their energy costs.
People could save on energy bills and help cut carbon emissions by investing in solar panels through a new group-buying scheme.
Solar Together Leicestershire helps people looking to make an investment in solar panels for their house and battery storage systems for a reduced rate.
Residents can register their interest for free and find more information on the Solar Together website.
People who register will be entered into an auction, where solar panel suppliers compete by offering the lowest rate for installation.
The more people who register, the lower the price can be.
Solar Together, run by group buying firm iChoosr, then provides those signed up with a free, no obligation offer from the successful energy supplier.
A personal recommendation will be emailed out with information on the winning solar panel installer, the proposed system, costs, and savings ready for residents to make their choice.
Blaby District Council is leading on the campaign in partnership with Charnwood Borough Council, Harborough District Council, Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, Leicestershire County Council, Melton Borough Council, North West Leicestershire District Council and Oadby and Wigston Borough Council.
Leicestershire County Council has declared a climate emergency and committed to work with others to achieve net zero carbon across the county by 2045 and the scheme is one part of reaching that goal.
Big drops in business mileage and energy use mean that Leicestershire County Council has cut its own emissions by almost 75 per cent and is currently on track to become carbon neutral by 2030.
A new consultation about how Leicestershire can become a net zero county by 2045 has also launched – residents, businesses and others can comment on the net zero strategy and action plan until July 26.
