The UK Government has paused VAT on solar panels until March 2027, meaning that homeowners will pay less for their installation. It’s estimated that this will save around £1000 per installation, so it’s worth taking advantage of.
In addition, Oxford City Council is offering a Sustainable Warmth Grant, running until March 2023, where eligible residents can get money towards energy saving improvements, including solar panels. The grant applies to properties with a low Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, and whose residents are on benefits or have a collective income of under £31,000, or £20,000 after rent or mortgage payments.
