Takes about a minute to start. OVO handles quote details and suitability checks.
Use this checklist before responding to solar grant advertising. It helps you separate real eligibility checks from broad claims.
Household
Income, benefits, vulnerability and local authority rules can affect support.
Property
EPC rating, heating system, insulation and roof suitability may matter.
Scheme
The organisation delivering the work should explain the scheme and paperwork clearly.
Checks to make
Ask for the scheme name and check it against official guidance. If the answer is vague, be careful.
- Is this ECO4, local authority flex, VAT relief or something else?
- Who is the installer?
- Who owns the panels?
- Is there any finance agreement?
- What happens if eligibility is rejected?
Keep your fallback option open
A normal quote can help you understand the paid cost even if you are still checking whether support applies.
