Government Grants for Solar Panels
You may be eligible for a Government grant towards the installation of solar panels on your home to make it more energy efficient.
Solar panels
Solar panels are becoming a popular choice for many in a bid to cut fuel bills and reduce carbon emissions. Solar panels capture the energy from daylight and convert it to electricity that can be used to power your home, reducing your home’s reliance on the national grid. By installing solar panels, you will be generating your own renewable energy source and massively reducing your carbon footprint.
As part of the government Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, if you are a homeowner and receive a qualifying benefit you may be entitled to a solar panel UK government grant. The home improvement grants are generated by the government and funded by UK energy companies and don’t need to be repaid. Even if you are a landlord or a tenant you may still be eligible for government grants for solar panels, so don’t delay.
Do you receive one of the following benefits?
- Child Tax Credit (CTC)
- Housing Benefit
- Income-based job seekers allowance (JSA)
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
- Income Support (IS)
- Pension Credit Guarantee Credit
- Pension Credit Savings Credit
- Universal Credit (UC)

If you receive one of these benefits you may qualify for a solar panel grant or other energy efficiency measure for your home.
Choosing solar panels can be a little complex. Not all homes are suitable for panels, and different panel types are best suited for different properties. But solar panels can make a big difference to your energy bills and add value to your property. They can be installed within 1-2 days and are low maintenance.
