Grants are available to help with cost of solar PV installations. Its good looking at a grant when deciding your energy solutions but frankly speaking we have a range of products and solutions that bring down your cost enough to make solar energy a viable proposition even without grants.

Currently most of the grants for house owners are being run under the LCBP programme administered by Department of Trade and Industry.

What if you are unable to Access a grant or find you are not covered by one ?

No big deal ! You have joined the thousands and perhaps soon-to-be hundred of thousands who do care a damn about their environment and are willing to chip in but unfortunately have less support than they require. Getting a grant may be difficult because demand is far outstripping supply. When that happens do not worry. Costs of our solar products and solutions are nearly 30% lower than many comparable solutions available , without compromise on quality (following ISO standards) .

So get a realistic quote from us, one that makes the need for a grant , less than ever before !
