The Energy Savings Trust
The Energy Savings Trust
maintain an online database
detailing grants and
discounts.
How much does it cost?
The price varies according to technology (PV, biomass, heat pump, etc), and
obviously the size. Renewables are a long term solution, with long-term
savings and a return on investment.
Government Funding
For a limited time, certain renewable technologies are eligible for one-off
payments to meet or offset installation costs, and/or receive payment for
every unit of renewable energy generated.
Loans Funding
Beware of claims that “green loans” are available - this is nonsense. As are
the “free install & save £800” type schemes, which tie you into a 25yr letting
agreement, with no guarantee of any savings let alone £800pa, an on-going
requirement to inform estate agents (who often don’t tell prospective
buyers), and may affect your insurance and mortgage conditions. And the
installer pockets the renewable generation and feed-in tariff payments.
Grants and funding
It may not be as expensive as you
might think
