Government Solar Grants & Funding Support
Find out if you qualify for government-backed grants to reduce the cost of solar installation. HelpinU Solar works with EcoGrants, a specialist grant eligibility service.
Could You Get a Grant Towards Your Solar Installation?
Many homeowners and tenants in the South West qualify for government-backed grant funding that can significantly reduce — or in some cases completely cover — the cost of solar installation.
HelpinU Solar works in partnership with EcoGrants, a specialist grant eligibility and funding support service. They can check your eligibility quickly, for free, and guide you through the available funding routes.
EcoGrants
What Is EcoGrants?
EcoGrants is a dedicated grant eligibility service that helps UK homeowners and tenants understand and access government-backed energy improvement funding — including the ECO4 scheme, the Warm Homes Plan, and local authority grant programmes.
They are a separate business operating as a trusted referral partner of HelpinU Solar. We refer customers to them when grant funding may be available, and they refer customers to us when solar installation is the recommended improvement.
