How Solar Finance Works
Interest-free credit up to £30,000 is available for solar PV and battery storage installations, subject to status and affordability. Terms and conditions apply. The process is straightforward: you complete the no-obligation survey, receive a written quote, and if you decide to proceed, our installer partners discuss finance options including deposit, monthly payment and term length.
0% VAT applies regardless of how you pay. It runs until 31 March 2027 and is automatic — no application needed. Finance simply spreads the remaining cost over monthly payments. See our main finance page for the full incentive picture including the Smart Export Guarantee.
What Can Be Financed
Finance can cover solar PV panels, battery storage, and in some cases heat pump installation. Combining solar with a battery or heat pump in a single financed package is often the most effective approach for Highland homes, particularly those replacing oil heating. See our battery add-on guide for battery options.
Eligibility and Application
Eligibility for interest-free credit is confirmed during the quote process. Our installer partners assess your circumstances and confirm whether you qualify, along with the available amount, deposit, monthly payment and term. If you do not qualify, alternative payment arrangements can be discussed. The no-obligation survey and quote are free regardless — see our survey page to start.
For more on paying monthly, our sister site Interest Free Energy Scotland covers the options in detail. For more questions, see our FAQ page or the questions resource at Scottish Energy Efficiency.
