Available Grants

Solar Grants

There are different solar grants and incentive available depending on whether you are a home owner, non profit organisation or business. Solar heating grants are only available for installed solar heating systems.

Home Owner

There is currently a £400 government solar heating grant available for installed domestic projects.

If you are considering installing solar energy or any other type of renewable energy in your home, you may be eligible for a government grant. Grants are not means tested and qualifying is straight forward.

Across the UK, the DTI's low carbon building programme provides grants for householders on micro generation technologies including solar photovoltaic's, solar thermal hot water, wind turbines, small scale hydro, heat pumps and bio-energy.

Before installing any renewable energy technology you should always consider efficiency measures first. We recommend that you complete a home energy check so that you can assess which measures are most suitable for your home.

How to apply for solar energy grants

Grant applications are made on a quarterly basis. Applications are assessed by an independent panel and if approved you have 12 months to complete the installation. A grant is paid out in two stages up to 70% at approval the 30% on completion.

The whole application process can be broken down into five stages...

• Obtain a quote and grant application form your chosen solar system supplier.
• Order your solar energy system and ensure that your order is be conditional on grant approval.
• After checking your personal details, including the bank account you want the grant funds to be paid into, sign and post the grant application form. It usually takes around 5-10 days to receive your grant approval letter.
• Have your solar water heating system installed by your chosen supplier.
• The final stage is to claim the second part of your grant. Once your solar system is installed and paid for, you will receive a certificate which is required to claim the final grant payment which goes straight into your bank account
