Solar Panel Grants
If you're a Lancashire resident, we'll be able to help you. Complete the application form and our team will be in touch to confirm your eligibility and options.
Solar panels can be funded through the Government's Warm Homes: Local Grant. For eligible residents, the grant could cover the cost of installation.
After applying, we'll review what measures your home needs. Under the Warm Homes: Local Grant, this could include insulation, air source heat pumps and solar panels. Solar panels will be installed if they are suitable for your home.
We'll contact you within 10 days to confirm eligibility. If eligible, a retrofit survey will be organised. This is to review the property and decide what measures are suitable.
A contractor will then contact you to arrange a Technical Survey. This is an in-depth survey of the property to take the required measurements for installation.
The contractor will then provide quotes and submit them to the Government for approval. Once approved, you will be contacted to arrange the installation date.

Solar panels capture sunlight throughout the day, generating DC electricity. This goes to an inverter, converting it into alternating current (AC) electricity. The AC electricity then powers your appliances with any excess stored in batteries or exported to the grid.
A typical household with a 3.5 kilowatt-peak system could save between £130 and £310 a year, depending on the Energy Price Cap rates.
Solar panels can still generate electricity without direct sunlight using photovoltaic cells. However, it might not be quite as efficient.
