Eco Grants
Solar Thermal
The Clear Skies (Low Carbon Building Programme) gives homeowners in England the opportunity to obtain a £400 grant towards the cost of installing a solar thermal system. This grant is a fixed sum and does not fluctuate pending on the size of the system.
Solar Photovoltaic
The Low Carbon Buildings Programme householder scheme is now closed to new applications for grants for electricity generating technologies.
Grant Application Requirements
- No fixed, photocopied or emailed applications will be accepted – and original signatures only.
- Funds are limited and all funding is therefore allocated on a first come first server basis.
- Incomplete applications will not be processed and there will be no opportunity to resubmit applications after the deadline.
- Applicants must confirm that the installation will be completed within the six months of receiving a grant offer. Grant offers are time limited and applications that schedule work beyond the six month life time of a grant offer cannot be approved.
- Please be aware that a higher than average volume of applications is expected and the processing of these will cause delays to approvals. It is therefore very important to note that grants are not paid retrospectively. If work is started prior to receipt of a formal grant offer letter, the grant offer is invalid and no grant monies will be paid.
- All work must be completed by an accredited installer. No installer can undertake any work prior to receiving written confirmation of their accredited status. Any installations completed by non-accredited installers will not be eligible for a grant.
- Installers and applicants are requested to not telephone to check if applications have been received / processed / offered as this will simply cause more delays of the processing of the applications.
