Currently, there is a solar grant available through the government of the United Kingdom as a part of phase one of the British Low Carbon Buildings Programme (LCBP).

This programme began in June 2006 with a government funding of approximately 300 million GBP, which was increased another 6 million GBP in April of 2008.

The department specifically responsible for this funding is the Department of Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform as well as the Energy Saving Trust. It applies to all manner of alternative energy, to include photovoltaics, wind turbines, heat pumps, and fuel cells.

Improvements are being made to appeal to residential owners more effectively, as only 1 percent of homeowners have received a rebate as a result of the LCBP insofar, according to the Solar Trade Association.

The requirements for a system to be eligible for governmental grants through the LCBP is determined by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS), which is an independently contrived algorithm that designates whether an installation or product meets the standards necessary to receive governmental sponsorship.

It was produced with the interest of protecting consumer rights and interests. This scheme has become the standard due to support from the Department of Energy and Climate Change as well as other governmental and nongovernmental environmental agencies.

By using one of our installations, you can guarantee that you are receiving a system that is MCS certified, so there is no guesswork involved.
