UK homeowners now have access to a growing range of government grants and incentive programmes designed to make solar energy more affordable and sustainable. These schemes aim to lower the upfront cost of installing renewable systems—boosting uptake across the country and supporting climate goals.

The ECO4 (Energy Company Obligation) programme helps low-income and vulnerable households install energy-efficient technologies, including solar panels and insulation upgrades. Meanwhile, the Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) and Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) assist eligible homes in replacing inefficient heating systems with greener alternatives—enabling comprehensive energy improvements. On top of these, the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) pays homeowners for clean electricity fed back into the grid, enhancing long-term savings.

Navigating the landscape of grants and eligibility can seem daunting—but that’s where we step in. Our team will assess your property, clarify which schemes apply to you, and help you complete applications. This tailored support ensures you access maximised benefits while moving confidently toward a cleaner, more cost-effective energy future.
