The government solar power grants available come from the Low Carbon Buildings Programme and are managed by the Energy Saving Trust who also manage the boiler scrappage scheme.

This programme was launched in April 2006 and replaces the former Clear Skies and Solar PV programmes throughout the UK except for the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

If you are planning to install a solar power system at your home or workplace, it is well worth looking into what is available in terms of government solar power grants.

You may be eligible for considerable assistance in financing the project which only increases the ultimate cost savings you will make.
