What Grants Are Available for Solar Panels in Scotland?

Installing solar panels in Scotland doesn’t have to break the bank, thanks to several government-backed grants and funding schemes available to homeowners.

The most valuable funding option is the Home Energy Scotland Loan — an 0% interest government-backed loan of up to £15,000, plus cashback of up to £2,500 for eligible installations.

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is another key incentive, obliging large energy suppliers to pay you for any unused solar electricity exported to the national grid.

For qualifying households, the ECO4 scheme can cover some renewable energy measures, while a number of Scottish local authorities offer their own local grant schemes.
