Solar Panels Grant - Simpli Green
Solar Panels and the Government’s ECO4 Grant Scheme
The UK Government offers financial incentives for energy-efficient solutions, including solar panels, under the Energy Company Obligation Scheme (ECO4).
The ECO scheme has two main aims:
To reduce carbon emissions.
To tackle the worrying rise in fuel poverty.
Local Authority Flexible Eligibility (LA Flex)
Local councils now have the opportunity to widen the criteria for energy-efficient measures to more people through LA Flex. This allows more homeowners and tenants to apply for solar power funding.
Local councils can use this to:
- Target the coldest homes.
- Consider the health of the occupants.
- Put in place the necessary solar panel grants to help warm the homes.
- The solar panel grants aim to help vulnerable families or those struggling with chronic illness, including:
- Households with children under six years old
- People with mental health issues
- Those over the age of sixty-five
- Pregnant mothers
- Disabled individuals
- People with heart disease or breathing problems
