Solar PV Panels via ECO4 Grant

Harness the power of the sun and slash your energy bills with a 100% grant-funded solar PV system under the UK’s ECO4 scheme. At FreeHouseKit, we guide eligible homeowners and private tenants through every step—from initial eligibility check to turnkey installation—so you can start generating clean energy at no upfront cost.

Why Choose Solar PV Panels?

•Zero Upfront Cost

ECO4 can cover 100% of the installation cost for qualifying households, delivering a brand‑new PV system with no investment required  .

•Reduced Energy Bills

Generate clean electricity on‑site to power your home and lower dependence on grid tariffs, saving hundreds of pounds annually.

•Carbon Footprint Reduction

Solar PV helps decarbonise your home, contributing directly to the UK’s net‑zero target by 2050.

•Increased Property Value

Homes with solar installations and improved EPC ratings can command higher resale value and market appeal.

What Is the ECO4 Scheme?

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government-backed programme obliging large energy suppliers to fund energy‑saving measures for low‑income and vulnerable households.

•ECO4 is the current funding window, running from 1 April 2022 until 31 March 2026, with an annual budget of £640 million for the Home Heating Cost Reduction Obligation (HHCRO)   .

•Its primary aim is to improve the least energy‑efficient homes (EPC bands D–G) via whole‑house retrofits—insulation, heating upgrades, and renewable technologies like solar PV.

Who Qualifies?

You may be eligible if you are a homeowner or private tenant (with landlord consent) and your household receives one or more income‑based benefits  :

•Jobseeker’s Allowance (Income‑based)

•Employment and Support Allowance (Income‑based)
