Eligible UK homeowners can receive completely free solar panel installation through the government's ECO4 scheme. Find out if you qualify today.
Free Solar Panels Through the ECO4 Scheme
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) scheme is a government initiative designed to reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty across the UK. It requires large energy suppliers to fund energy efficiency improvements for eligible households, including free solar panel installations.
This fully funded program targets homeowners who might otherwise be unable to afford the upfront costs of renewable energy solutions. By providing 100% free solar panel installations to qualifying households, the scheme helps reduce energy bills, increase property values, and lower carbon emissions.
The ECO4 scheme is particularly focused on supporting low-income households, those receiving certain benefits, and properties with poor energy efficiency ratings. This targeted approach ensures that those most vulnerable to fuel poverty can access clean, renewable energy solutions at no cost.
Under this scheme, eligible homeowners receive a complete solar PV system, including high-quality panels, inverter, mounting equipment, and professional installation - all without any upfront or hidden costs. The entire process is managed on your behalf, from initial assessment to final installation.
Once installed, your free solar panel system can save you hundreds of pounds annually on electricity bills while significantly reducing your carbon footprint. You'll also have the opportunity to earn additional income by selling excess electricity back to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
