Can I Get Solar Panels If I Am Receiving Benefits?

Receiving certain benefits may mean you could meet one of the eligibility routes for the Warm Homes Grant, depending on the criteria in place when you apply.

Current guidance suggests qualifying benefits may include:

• Universal Credit.
• Pension Credit.
• Child Tax Credit.
• Working Tax Credit.
• Income Support.
• Housing Benefit.
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance.
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance.

However, receiving benefits does not automatically guarantee funding. Other checks may apply, including your home’s EPC rating and whether your property meets the scheme requirements.
