Solar Power: Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent steps his Department has taken to raise public awareness of the availability of government grants for the installation of solar panels on homes.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Although domestic rooftop solar remains a key priority for the Government, there are currently no grants on offer to support the installation of solar panels specifically.
However, alongside the £13.2bn we are investing in the Warm Homes Plan, officials will work with the finance sector on the role Government may play in scaling up and mobilising low-cost lending to support households with the up-front costs of energy efficiency and clean energy upgrades.
Additionally, our Solar Roadmap carries several actions for government and industry to facilitate the provision of financial solutions for suitable customers. We will monitor and support delivery of these actions through the Solar Council co-chaired with industry.
