If you do not meet all of the criteria listed above then unfortunately you will not qualify for this particular grant scheme. However, you may qualify for other Government funding schemes – if you complete your contact details in the application form below, a grants advisor will be in touch to discuss which grants you will be eligible for.

Benefits of Solar panels:

Save over £600 per year on your electricity bill*
Earn an monthly income from your excess solar energy, via the Smart Export Guarantee
Add value to your property

Please note that if you qualify for a grant, you will own the solar panels in full and you will never be asked to repay the grant. You will also still own your roof (this is not a ‘rent a roof’ scheme).

The grant sounds too good to be true – what is the catch?

The funding for this scheme is obtained via the Government ECO scheme. This scheme places a legal obligation on the energy suppliers (eg British Gas, E-ON, EDF etc) to fund the cost of energy saving measures to reduce fuel poverty and to help the Government meet legally binding targets to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

All work is carried out by a Trustmark accredited installer and you will receive both manufacturer and workmanship guarantees for the solar panels. At no point will you be asked to provide any payment or any payment details.

If you meet the criteria listed above, please enter your details in the contact form below and a grants advisor will be in touch.

Grant FAQ's

Where does the funding come from?

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a Government energy efficiency scheme set up to help reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty. The scheme was launched in April 2013 and over time it has been amended once certain obligation were hit. The scheme aims to help low income and vulnerable households with a free grant so that they can afford new energy saving measures. These grants are completely free and not repaid under any circumstances. The value of Grant you receive is based on your property and what improvements can be made.

How to qualify?

You need to be a customer of one of the medium to large energy providers in the UK. You will need to own or rent a home with an EPC rating of A to E. However, if you are renting, you will only get certain energy efficient grants and you will need permission from your landlord to obtain the energy measures entitled to you under the grant schemes. Social housing properties are not eligible to qualify for grants under ECO, however it is always best to contact your local council authority. Finally, you or your tenant will need to qualify for a range of UK benefits.

Who manages the scheme?

Ofgem is a non-ministerial government department and an independent national regulatory authority. Their objective is to protect the interest of the consumers and is responsible for delivering and regulating government schemes, such as this one.
