Ask about solar funding for your home
Not sure whether any scheme applies to you, or whether an offer is genuine? Ask us. Solar PV Panels Grants is an independent explainer, not a scheme or an installer, and we reply by email.
The short answer
Asking costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We reply by email with the scheme or council page that fits, if there is one, or an explanation of what an offer appears to be. We don't phone, and we don't pass your details on.

Details that help us answer
- Where the home is: England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, and the council area if you know it.
- Whether you own it or rent it, and if you rent, from a private landlord or a council or housing association.
- What you know about eligibility: roughly whether household income is above or below £36,000, any means-tested benefit, and the EPC rating if you have it.
- What you're looking into: solar panels, a battery, a heat pump, or an offer you want a second view on.
The income figure is the usual line for Warm Homes: Local Grant in England, as set out on GOV.UK (checked 2 November 2026). You don't need exact numbers; "above" or "below" is enough for us to point you the right way.
Questions we can usually answer
Which scheme, if any, covers your nation and situation. Whether a scheme you've heard of is still open: ECO4, for instance, ends on 31 December 2026. Whether something described as a grant is really a loan, a lease or a tax relief. What VAT should appear on a solar quote before and after 1 April 2027. And what an installer needs to hold for export payments to work.
Questions we can't answer
Whether you qualify: only the council or scheme can decide that. Whether a particular firm is reliable: we can point you to MCS's installer search and the questions worth asking, but we can't vouch for anyone. Which lender or product to choose: we don't recommend credit.
