A comprehensive guide to all current UK government grants, schemes, and financial incentives available for solar panel installations in 2025.
While the Feed-in Tariff has ended, several government schemes and financial incentives remain available to help UK homeowners and businesses afford solar installations.
Key Points
- Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) pays for excess energy exported to the grid
- 0% VAT on solar panels and batteries until March 2027
- Enhanced Capital Allowances for business solar installations
- Some local councils offer additional grants - check your authority
- Green Deal financing allows installation costs to be repaid through energy bills
The combination of SEG payments, zero VAT, and reduced installation costs means 2025 is an excellent time to invest in solar. Speak to an MCS-certified installer about available incentives.
