Solar panels can bring down your electricity bills, but the upfront cost of installing a system can still run into several thousand pounds. For some households, solar panel grants and other funding schemes can help make that initial investment considerably more affordable.
The support available depends on where you live, your income and benefits, and the energy efficiency of your home. In England, schemes including ECO4, ECO4 Flex and the Warm Homes: Local Grant can fund solar panels in some circumstances, while Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own programmes.
