Solar grants on Child Tax Credit
Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit are qualifying benefits for ECO4. With electric heating and an EPC rating of D to G, you may be able to apply.
Tax Credits are among the 16 benefits that bring households into ECO4. As with every route, solar PV funding also depends on electric heating and your EPC band, and your energy supplier has the final say. We check it all before you commit to anything.
The three things that need to line up
- A qualifying benefit - which, with Child Tax Credit, you have.
- Electric heating - solar under ECO4 is only funded where your home is heated by electricity, not mains gas.
- An EPC rating of D to G - the scheme is aimed at less energy-efficient homes.
Your energy supplier makes the final decision on funding, so meeting these conditions is a strong start rather than a guarantee. We'll always be honest with you about where you stand before referring you to an installer.
