SOLAR PANEL GRANTS & INCENTIVES IN 2025 (UK)
A solar panel installation grant is a form of financial support (often provide by the government energy supplier or local authorities) to help homeowners, landlords or eligible building owners pay part or all of the cost of installing solar photovoltaic (PV) panels.
Key Features of a Solar Panel Installation Grant:
Subsidised Costs – The grant deduces or in some cases fully covers the upfront expense of the purchasing and installing solar panels and related equipment such as inverters and fixings.
Eligibility Criteria – Grants typically have conditions such as:
• Houshold income thresholds
• whether the applicant receives certain benefits
• The property’s current energy performance e.g EPC rating
• Ownership status (homeowner vs tenant)
Certified Installers / Quality Standards – To qualify, installations often must be carried out by certified or accredited installers such as MCS-certified in the UK.
Supporting Documents Required – You may need to supply document s like energy performance certificates, proof of income or benefits, ownership proof where applicable.
Inspection and Verification – After installation, there are usually inspections or checks to ensure the work meets required standards and grant conditions.
Monocrystalline Silicon
Single-crystal silicon; often PERC, N‑type, high efficiency. High efficiency, space-saving, used in MCS‑005 certified modules
Polycrystalline Silicon
Many small silicon crystals; lower cost production. Lower efficiency vs mono and widely used in UK, many approved by MCS
Thin‑Film Panels
Very thin, lightweight, flexible options AND ARE Better in low light / overcast. Check MSC certified under relevant standards (EN 61646)
Aerial Roof Condition Inspection Surveys
Prior to legal aerial inspections, using UAV’s to assess a roof, chimney or other high structure was an expensive and costly exercise.
With our extensive range of professional hi-tech equipment and fully licensed pilots and surveyors, inspections of high structures such as roofs, chimneys, churches and towers, no longer require expensive scaffolding.
Furthermore, there is no longer a need for unsightly mechanical access equipment.
After our pre planning and flight assessment, we will be able to provide you with high resolution images and high definition film of your high structure aerial survey.
With the equipment and large operational screen, we are able to see live footage from the UAV, and therefore obtain the exact photographs and film required.
