Overall there are three notable incentives for solar panels in the uk that will be covered in this guide.
Government funded solar panels uk.
The government used to provide interest free loans and grants as part of the green deal but this concluded in 2015.
A feed in tariff is a payment you can get if you generate your own electricity eg with solar panels or a wind turbine and you can also sell energy back to the grid.
Though there aren t any grants in the traditional sense there are opportunities for solar panel funding in the uk.
Smart export guarantee seg.
The feed in tariff also came to an end in april 2019 but the new smart export guarantee seg is on the way starting in january 2020.
Currently the only scheme open to new applications is the smart export guarantee seg.
With the end of the solar feed in tariff fit in march 2019 an eco3 grant is the now the way to secure a free government funded grant.
