Check EligibilitySolar Panel Grants in Wales — FAQs
What solar panel grants are available in Wales?
Households in Wales can access several government-backed schemes: the ECO4 scheme (fully funded solar and insulation for eligible homes), the Smart Export Guarantee (paid for exported electricity), and the Home Upgrade Grant for off-gas properties. A free eligibility check confirms which apply to your property.
Do I qualify for the ECO4 scheme in Wales?
ECO4 eligibility in Wales typically depends on receiving a qualifying benefit (such as Universal Credit, Pension Credit or Child Benefit) and living in a property with an EPC rating of D, E, F or G. Some councils also run LA Flex routes that widen eligibility to lower-income households not on benefits.
Can I get free solar panels in Wales?
Yes — under ECO4, eligible Wales households can receive solar panels with no upfront cost where solar is the most appropriate measure for the property. The grant covers supply and installation by an MCS-certified installer. Use the free eligibility checker to see if your home qualifies.
How much can solar panels save households in Wales?
A typical home in Wales with a 4kW solar system can cut electricity bills by £450–£700 a year, with further income from the Smart Export Guarantee for power sold back to the grid. Grant funding removes or reduces the install cost, improving payback significantly.
