Get a free bill saving solar panel, heat pump, or storage heater installation with the ECO4 grant.
In light of the recent government announcement that the £2500 energy price cap will expire in 2023, and with energy prices having more than doubled in 2022, switching to alternate, cheaper, and greener sources of energy is becoming increasingly vital.
Under the ECO4 scheme, eligible homeowners or private tenants who receive an income-based benefit and whose property is deemed non-efficient (EPC RATING E-G) may qualify for solar panels in combination with an efficient electric heating system in the form of an air source heat pump.
Many people are unaware of the benefits of Solar Battery Storage, Solar panels generate electricity, but they cannot store it. Having solar battery storage is essential for storing excess and unused energy from the solar panels.
When the daylight hours have come and gone, and the solar panels no longer generate electricity, It is at this point that the energy that’s been stored in the battery will start to power your home at absolutely NO COST to you!
The system stores excess solar energy that is not immediately consumed by your home.
Battery storage is currently not available via a grant but can be added on as a chargeable extra for those who qualify for a solar panel grant.
Homeowners or private tenants in receipt of a qualifying income-related benefit may qualify if your home has an EPC rating of E,F or G.
If You’re a landlord, and your tenant claims benefits, you may encourage them to apply for the grant, thus improving your properties energy efficiency and saving the tenant hundreds of pounds every year.
Lastly, we have agreements with selected local authorities throughout Scotland to offer our customers access to the ‘Flexible Eligibility Scheme’ (LA FLEX) to offer access to the ECO4 scheme whether on benefits or not.
