UK Solar & Battery Grant Checker
Answer three questions and get a straight, sourced answer about what funding actually exists for your project right now.
The short version, correct as of 30 July 2026: there is currently no open UK grant that directly funds farm-scale solar PV. The strongest support available today is 0% VAT on residential solar and battery installation until 31 March 2027, capital allowances for farm and business systems, 0% Green Homes Wales loans for Welsh homeowners, and Northern Ireland's NISEP schemes. Defra has confirmed a revamped English farm grants offer for 2027. The checker below matches all of this to your exact situation, with a link to the official source for every claim.
Many websites list solar grants that are closed, never existed, or don't apply in your part of the UK. This tool is built only from official sources (gov.uk, Defra, Ofgem, the Development Bank of Wales, Business Energy Scotland, Home Energy Scotland and NISEP), it's re-checked weekly, and it tells you honestly when the answer is "nothing at the moment".
1. Where is the project?

3. What are you looking at?
Funding changes. Be first to know.
Defra's revamped 2027 farm grants offer and new home energy loan funds are on the way. Tell us where you are and we'll email you the day anything relevant opens. Real schemes from official sources, nothing else.
Funding information on this page is general information, not financial or tax advice. Scheme rules change: always confirm current status with the official source before committing. Off-grid systems have no grid connection, so export tariffs such as the Smart Export Guarantee don't apply to them. For grid-tied projects, we're happy to point you to a trusted partner.
Rather talk it through?
Funding is one part of the picture. System design is the bigger one, and it's the part we do every day.
