Solar Grants & Funding in the Midlands 2026

There is no single "solar grant", but several schemes genuinely cut the cost or pay you back. These guides cover what is actually available in 2026 — for homeowners, landlords and businesses — and who qualifies for what.

1

ECO4 and income support

ECO4 funds insulation and, in some cases, solar for qualifying low-income Midlands households — typically those on Universal Credit, ESA or Pension Credit. It is delivered through approved installers and means-tested. We can point you to whether your property and circumstances are likely to qualify.

2

Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)

Every MCS-certified system can register for the SEG, which pays you 5–15p per kWh for surplus electricity exported to the grid. Octopus, E.ON and EDF have competitive 2026 tariffs, and you can use a different supplier for export than for import. See our dedicated Smart Export Guarantee guide.

3

0% VAT and Full Expensing

Until 31 March 2027, solar and battery storage carry 0% VAT — a ~20% saving built into every quote. Businesses can claim 100% Full Expensing / Annual Investment Allowance on solar capex in year one, cutting net cost substantially. Our commercial solar page covers the business side.

If your roof needs scaffolding on more than one elevation, or has restricted access, that additional cost is quoted separately after survey. Prices include VAT. Domestic solar and battery storage is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027. Subject to a free technical survey. We will confirm the final price in writing before any work is booked.
