Harnessing the power of the sun is no longer just a dream for UK homeowners. Thanks to the ECO4 Scheme, it's now a reality for many households in Rotherham. By installing Solar PV panels, you can reduce your carbon footprint, lessen your reliance on traditional energy sources, and save significantly on energy bills.
Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) systems, convert sunlight into electricity, enabling homeowners to generate their own power. Even on overcast days, these systems can harvest energy, ensuring a consistent supply. Plus, with a robust 25-year manufacturer warranty and a 2-year insurance-backed labour guarantee, you can be confident in the longevity and reliability of your investment.
To secure a Solar Panel (PV) grant under the ECO4 Scheme, homeowners must:
Furthermore, the property's primary heating system before the ECO4 project should be a heat pump, high heat retention storage heaters, or another electric heating system. Solar PV installation can only coincide with plans to install a non-electric primary heat source. This ensures the solar PV measures effectively reduce heating costs.

Yes, Rotherham residents can access grants for solar panels via the Eco4 funding program. To qualify, you must meet specific criteria such as receiving eligible benefits, having a low income, or suffering from cold-related illnesses. Additionally, only properties with EPC ratings of G, F, or E can apply.
The UK government recognises the environmental and economic benefits of solar panels. As such, they provide various incentives, like a zero VAT rate. However, these benefits are primarily for properties with EPC ratings of G, F, or E, aiming to improve their score by at least two bands.
Solar panels typically cost between £2,500 and £8,000 in the UK, varying based on the system's size. While there isn't Rotherham-specific data, it's important to remember that financial assistance may be available to those who qualify.
In most cases, Rotherham residents don't require planning permission for solar panel installations. However, it's always wise to consult with an expert, especially if your property has a lower EPC rating or other unique considerations.
