Are you a Bristol resident facing problems with escalating energy costs? If so, we may be able to help you with Solar Panels. Through the government-backed scheme ECO4, we can facilitate solar panels to be installed on your roof.
Solar Panels draw energy from the daylight. From there, the energy can be used in your house during daylight or stored within batteries for later use. This excess can then be sold back to the grid or used to save yourself power.
At Solar-Grants, we dislike the inequalities in housing and energy efficiencies and aim to utilise the available funding to equalise the playing field.
If you are interested in free solar panels in Bristol, please read on.
Yes, with the new ECO4 scheme, grants have been introduced to help UK citizens better manage their energy usage and costs. All that’s needed from you is the online submission of basic information. We, here at Solar-Grants, will go through the heavy administrative process for you, as well as provide completely free installation.
ECO4’s overall objective is to raise heating, insulation and energy efficiency within low-income households, to meet the standards of households with higher income.
It aims to bring the general energy performance grades up from D and below, through the free installation of Solar PV, loft insulation and underfloor insulation. These performance grades gauge how much energy is used, and how much is wasted.
These are the following benefits that may mean you are eligible for funding for solar panels in Bristol under ECO4:
On top of this, ECO4 opens up the opportunity to apply on the grounds of low household income and receipt of child benefits. That being said, this depends on the number of children you have, as well as whether one or two parents reside in the household.
For clarity’s sake, the following are the caps at which your eligibility is rendered null:
| Household Occupants | Single Parent | Two Parents |
| One Child | £19,800 | £27,300 |
| Two Children | £24,600 | £32,100 |
| Three Children | £29,400 | £36,900 |
| Four or more Children | £34,200 | £41,700 |
