Until recently, the grants system has been unpredictable, with some customer claims proving successful and others being deferred until the following month. With the monthly cap of £500,000 running out within hours of the opening dates, the system has proved unworkable and the allocation of funds was suspended for the month of April. The scheme has now been re-launched with the monthly cap removed and all applications can be completed online, with an instant response. Full details are available at http://www.lowcarbonbuildings.org.uk/how/householders/ Important information detailed under the programme that should be taken into account when planning your installation/application is as follows:-
No monthly cap
Once the scheme re-opens for applications, household grants will be allocated on a first come, first served basis as long as funds last. There will be no further funds and no further measures to extend the scheme life.
Amount of grants available
Solar thermal hot water : Overall maximum of £400 or 30% of the relevant eligible costs, whichever is lower
Planning permission Householders must have any required planning consents in place before applying to the scheme.
