Four steps

From postcode to panels

There's no mystery to it. Here's exactly what happens at each stage - and the point where we hand over to an accredited installer.

  1. 01

    Check your eligibility

    Start with your postcode and answer four short questions about your heating, benefits and tenure. It takes about a minute and tells you honestly whether ECO4 can help.

  2. 02

    We call to confirm

    If you may qualify, we call you on 0330 321 5693 to confirm the details and explain what happens next. No pressure, no obligation - just a clear answer.

  3. 03

    An installer assesses your home

    We refer you to an MCS-accredited installer in your area. They survey your roof, confirm the funding with your energy supplier, and explain whether any contribution is needed.

  4. 04

    Installation is arranged

    If everything checks out, the installer arranges your solar PV system under ECO4. We don't install anything ourselves - we connect you with accredited professionals who do.

A short walkthrough of how the scheme works and what to expect once you've checked your eligibility. No jargon, no pressure.

What we do

Check your eligibility honestly and, if you qualify, refer you to one MCS-accredited installer for your area.

What we don't do

We don't install panels, we don't decide funding, and we don't sell your details to a panel of buyers.

What it costs you

Nothing to check. Whether the install itself is fully funded is decided by the installer after a survey.

How long it takes

The check takes about a minute. We aim to call you within one working day if you may qualify.
