UK support for clean tech changes regularly, but two consistent pillars are Home Energy Scotland (HES) support (for Scottish residents) and OZEV grants for EV charging (UK-wide eligibility varies). Here's a plain-English guide so you don't leave money on the table.

Home Energy Scotland (Scotland Residents)

HES has historically offered a mix of grants and/or interest-free loans for energy efficiency and renewables, subject to eligibility and available funding. Support can cover:

Solar PV and/or Battery Storage

Programmes and criteria can evolve, but support often includes contributions toward the installation of solar panels and battery storage systems for homes.

Insulation and Heating Upgrades

Improve your home's energy efficiency with support for insulation, double glazing, and modern heating systems that reduce energy consumption.

OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) — UK-wide EV Support

OZEV runs several schemes (criteria and scope may change), including:

  • Recommend approved hardware and smart features
  • Coordinate grant paperwork and partner installation
  • Plan load management so you don't exceed supply limits

Beyond HES & OZEV

ECO4 Scheme

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) scheme may support low-income or vulnerable households with energy upgrades in England & Wales.

Local Authority Programmes

Many local councils offer additional support and funding for energy efficiency improvements tailored to local needs and priorities.

Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)

While not a direct grant, the SEG pays you for exported solar energy—shop around suppliers for the best rates to maximize your return.
