Questions about solar power
ECO4 will be a four-year scheme and is intended to run from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2026. The main objective of ECO4 is to improve the least energy efficient housing occupied by low income and vulnerable households.
Under ECO, medium and larger energy suppliers fund the installation of energy efficiency measures in British households. Each obligated supplier has an overall target based on its share of the domestic energy market in Britain. The obligated energy suppliers work with installers to introduce certain efficiency measures into your homes.
Installing solar panels brings long-lasting financial and environmental benefits:
- Lower energy bills immediately – Reduce reliance on the grid by generating your own power.
- Government-funded installation – No upfront costs for qualifying households.
Increase your property value – Homes with solar panels are more attractive to buyers. - Future-proof your home – Pair with EV chargers to power your car directly from the sun and create a greener lifestyle.
- Reduce your carbon footprint – Every kilowatt generated helps the UK move closer to Net Zero.
No. If you qualify, the full cost of your solar PV system is covered through ECO4 funding. There are no charges for installation.
Eligibility depends on factors such as your home’s energy efficiency rating and whether you or someone in your household receives qualifying benefits. Some councils also offer ECO4 Flex which extends eligibility to low-income households not on benefits. Fill out our free eligibility checker and one of our team can help you through the process.
