Solar Battery Storage with ECO4 Grants

Harness the full potential of your solar PV system by integrating battery storage—maximising self‑consumption, boosting energy resilience and unlocking access to ECO4 grant funding. At FreeHouseKit, we’ll guide you through every step of the process, from eligibility check to professional installation, with no upfront costs for qualifying households.

Why Choose Solar Battery Storage?

•Maximise Savings

Store excess solar generation for use after sunset, reducing reliance on grid electricity and slashing your bills.

•Enhanced Energy Security

Ride through grid outages and peak‑time price hikes with power on tap, 24/7.

•Environmental Impact

Shift more of your household’s energy use onto clean, renewable power—lowering your carbon footprint.

What Is the ECO4 Scheme?

The UK Government’s Energy Company Obligation 4 (ECO4) runs from 1 April 2022 through 31 March 2026, with over £4 billion allocated to improve home energy efficiency. Under ECO4, low‑income and vulnerable households can receive fully funded installations of eligible measures, including solar PV and battery storage   .

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for fully funded solar battery storage via ECO4, you must:

1.Be a homeowner or private renter in England, Scotland or Wales.

2.Spend at least £40/month on electricity (measured on recent bills).  

3.Have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D, E, F or G, or receive certain means‑tested benefits (e.g., Universal Credit, Pension Credit).  

If you don’t meet all criteria, you may still be eligible for partial funding or low‑interest loans.
