Solar panel grants guidance
Grant schemes change. BlankSolar helps you understand current options — eligibility, paperwork, and why MCS certification matters — without promising savings we cannot verify.

Guidance on solar grants & incentives
Grant and incentive schemes for solar change over time and vary by property, tenure, and location. BlankSolar does not promise funding we cannot verify — we explain what may apply when we understand your home and planned install.
Most schemes require MCS-certified installation; our work meets that standard so technical eligibility is not blocked by paperwork. We help with installer certificates and serial numbers schemes need after commissioning.
Contact us for current programmes and how they interact with SEG, finance options, and your quote.
- Honest eligibility guidance
- MCS installs for scheme compliance
- Post-install documentation support

Navigate grants with clarity
We do not overpromise — we help you understand real options.

Eligibility
Property type, tenure, location, and existing heating system can affect schemes. We ask the right questions at enquiry stage.

Many incentives require MCS-certified installation. BlankSolar installs to that standard so you are not excluded on a technicality.
