Home Energy Grants in Scotland (November 2026)

At Herofix we help you understand what support you may be eligible for and guide you through the process, from start to finish.

NEW - Funded Solar for Homeowners

At Herofix, we have been working hard to assist as many homeowners as possible gain control over their energy. Alongside our local partners, we have managed to secure funding for 200+ homeowners. Eligible homeowners can now have solar panels installed on their home, with the cost funded rather than paid out of their own pocket. With energy bills still a worry for many households, generating your own electricity from the sun is one of the most practical ways to bring your costs down.

What it covers

  • Fully-funded solar panels for your home
  • Survey, system design and full installation

Homeowners qualify through two routes

  • Someone in the home is aged 65+, with total household earnings under £31,000
  • A child under 5 lives in the home, with total household earnings under £31,000

How to check if you qualify

  • Complete the below form to confirm eligibility
  • If your household qualifies, we arrange a free survey of your home
  • If your roof is suitable, funded panels are installed

Grant & Funding FAQ's

Scottish homeowners may be eligible for support through the funding secured by our director Paul for solar panel installation. There are also a number of other schemes and VAT free options available. Herofix will help you understand which schemes apply to your circumstances.

Yes. The Home Energy Scotland Grant offers up to £7,500 towards the cost of a new air source heat pump installation. Eligible homeowners can also access an interest-free loan of up to £7,500 on top of the grant, making up to £15,000 in combined support available. To qualify, your installation must be carried out by an MCS-certified company — and all Herofix installations meet this requirement.

Grant availability for solar panels in Scotland has changed in recent years. The Home Energy Scotland Grant currently focuses on heat pumps and heating system upgrades — the solar and battery storage element of the scheme ended in June 2024. However, low-income households may be eligible for free or solar panels through our grant schemes. Herofix will advise you on the most up-to-date funding options for your situation.

Yes. Solar panel installations in Scotland currently benefit from a 0% VAT rate under UK Government policy, applicable until March 2027. This applies to solar panels and, in many cases, battery storage when installed as part of a solar package — reducing the overall cost of going solar for Scottish homeowners.

Herofix guides you through the entire grants process — from checking your eligibility and identifying the schemes relevant to your home, to supporting your application and ensuring your installation meets all the criteria required to qualify. There is no obligation and no jargon: we explain everything in plain terms so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

Many Scottish government energy grant schemes — including Warmer Homes Scotland — prioritise households with a lower EPC rating, as these homes typically have the greatest potential for energy efficiency improvements. If your property has a poor rating, you may be well placed to qualify for significant funding. Herofix can arrange a free assessment to help determine your home's eligibility.
