How can I get free solar panels through government grants?
Free Solar UK helps eligible homeowners access government-funded grants such as ECO4, GBIS, LA Flex, and the Warm Homes Local Grant. These schemes provide fully subsidized solar panel installation to improve home energy efficiency and reduce electricity bills. If you qualify, you won’t pay anything upfront—the grant covers everything.
Who is eligible for free solar panel installation?
Eligibility depends on the grant program, but generally, you may qualify if you:

- Live in a home with a low Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating (D, E, F, or G).

- Have high energy needs or medical conditions affected by poor home insulation.

- Are a low-income household or struggle with high energy bills.

FreeSolarUK will assess your eligibility and guide you through the application process.
