How Can We Help?
Are there incentives or government grants for renewable energy?
Yes, there are several government grants and incentives available in the UK to help homeowners and businesses switch to renewable energy. These schemes are designed to make it more affordable to install renewable technologies such as solar PV panels, air source heat pumps, and insulation.
Some of the main options include:
- ECO4 Scheme (Energy Company Obligation): Provides funding for energy-saving measures like insulation, heat pumps, and solar panels—especially for eligible households.
- LA Flex (Local Authority Flexible Eligibility): Allows local councils to widen access to grants for those who may not qualify under standard criteria, based on income, health, or property type.
- Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS): Supports households in improving their home’s insulation, reducing energy bills and carbon emissions.
- Zero VAT on Energy-Saving Products: Certain energy-saving products, including solar panels and heat pumps, currently benefit from zero-rated VAT, reducing installation costs.
- Local Grants: Some councils and regional authorities offer additional incentives or top-up grants for renewable energy and insulation.
Eligibility and funding amounts can vary depending on factors like your location, household income, property type, and the technology you choose. Our team can help you check which grants or incentives you may qualify for and guide you through the application process.
