The Government is developing the Warm Homes Scheme, which is expected to help eligible households improve the energy efficiency of their homes. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you may be able to apply for support towards improvements, including Solar, when funding becomes available.

Current Government guidance suggests you may be eligible if:
- Your home is in England.
