Solar Panel Grants
Currently, there is funding available for solar panels through the ECO4 scheme.
To be eligible, at least one person in your household must receive a qualifying state benefit, such as Universal Credit, Child Tax Credit, Pension Credit, or others. If you don't receive benefits, you may still qualify under ECO4 Flex, depending on your income, health conditions, or other factors set by your local authority.
ECO4 funding is designed to help households lower their energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint. Green Home Systems is a fully accredited ECO4 installer and can guide you through the application process from start to finish — making it easy to access support and start benefiting from clean, renewable energy.
Insulation Grants
Insulating your home is one of the smartest ways to stay warmer, lower your energy bills, and cut carbon emissions — and there’s funding available to help.
Through the ECO4 scheme and the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS), homeowners and eligible tenants can access support to install loft, cavity wall, solid wall, underfloor and room-in-roof insulation. Each programme has its own criteria, depending on your income, benefits, energy rating or council tax band.
We’ve broken it all down clearly to help you find the right path for your home.
