Financial support for renewable technology

There is a wide range of support available to help you install or make money from renewable technologies.

Available grants, loans and financial schemes depend on where you live in the UK. For example, if you live in Scotland, you could get an interest-free loan up to £17,500 to install home renewables.

In England, the Green Homes Grant could fund up to two-thirds of the cost of installing an air source or ground source heat pump.
