Frequently asked questions

Can I get free solar panels in CF2?

Free solar panel installations are available for eligible households through the Warm Homes Plan. To qualify, your household typically needs to receive a means-tested benefit such as Universal Credit or Pension Credit, and your home should have an EPC rating of D or below. Solar panels are usually funded as part of a whole-house improvement package. Submit the form to check eligibility.

What does free solar panels actually mean?

Free means the panels, installation, mounting hardware, and inverter are fully funded for qualifying households under the Warm Homes Plan. There is no cost to you if your household qualifies. Not every applicant will receive free panels; eligibility depends on benefit status, EPC rating, and roof suitability.

Will my roof be suitable for solar panels?

Suitability depends on roof orientation, pitch, shading, and structural condition. South, south-east, and south-west facing roofs with minimal shading are best. The free survey of your CF2 property will confirm whether your roof is suitable before any commitment is made.

Do I own the solar panels once fitted?

Yes. Under the Warm Homes Plan, funded solar panels become your property once installed. There are no rent or lease arrangements. You benefit from the electricity they generate and any export payments through the Smart Export Guarantee.

How much electricity will free solar panels generate in CF2?

A typical 3 to 4 kWp solar system in the UK generates approximately 2,700 to 3,400 kWh per year, though actual output depends on the system size, orientation, and local weather. The installer will provide a generation estimate specific to your CF2 property.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. The form is free and takes about 60 seconds. If you pre-qualify, an accredited installer in CF2 will contact you to arrange a free survey.
