Government grant funding for commercial solar can significantly reduce project costs, but schemes are often complex, highly specific, and change annually.
To address this, we work with a dedicated grant specialist whose sole role is to identify, secure, and manage funding on behalf of our clients. She previously worked within grant-issuing organisations, giving her direct insight into how applications are assessed and how to structure submissions for higher approval rates.
She manages the entire process to remove the administrative burden:
We have seen grants contribute up to 50% of the capital cost in certain cases, with some schemes providing funding from £10,000 upwards. Working with us ensures you benefit from both a professionally designed solar system and the expertise to access funding that might otherwise be missed.
