This question was answered on 27th March 2023
The Government’s energy efficiency schemes, such as the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, Home Upgrade Grant, and the Energy Company Obligation, all include solar panels as an eligible measure, subject to certain requirements.
The Government is also exploring options to facilitate low-cost finance from retail lenders to help householders with the upfront costs of installation.
