Installing solar panels in Scotland can be far more affordable than you might think, thanks to a number of government-backed grants and funding schemes on offer.

The biggest scheme available is the Home Energy Scotland Loan — an 0% interest government-backed loan of up to £15,000, and up to £2,500 cashback for eligible installations.

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) adds further value, obliging large energy suppliers to pay you for any surplus solar electricity exported to the grid.

For eligible households, the ECO4 scheme can cover some renewable energy measures, while some Scottish local authorities run their own local grant schemes.
