How can Solar for London help you?

Solar for London provides the following services to assist you in planning and installing a solar water heating system in your home:

Advice and Information
Professional, independent advice about solar water heating systems and other local energy efficiency schemes in your area.

Discounts
Bulk purchase, fixed discount prices on system components have been specially negotiated with leading UK manufacturers.

Low Carbon Buildings Programme Grants
A £400 grant is available to homeowners from the Department of Trade and Industry’s “Low Carbon Buildings” programme (LCBP). Solar for London can advise you on how to apply for this grant. As the application form requires you to submit your personal bank details, it must be filled out and submitted by the homeowner, and as such Solar for London cannot apply for the Clear Skies grant on your behalf. The £400 LCBP grant is paid directly into your personal bank account by LCBP once the solar installation has been commissioned.

You can contact the Low Carbon Buildings programme by calling 0800 915 0990.

Please note: All installations carried out under Solar for London will be eligible for the £400 grant, however an installation carried out by a Clear Skies/LCBP installer who is not registered with Solar for London will not be eligible for a Solar Reward.


Solar Rewards
A Solar Reward is a further discount (up to £1,500) available through Solar for London from certain London Boroughs. This discount will be reflected in the quotation that you receive from one of our trained installers after having a solar survey carried out on your home. The Solar Reward is only available for installations that are carried out by installers who have been approved by Solar for London. Contact us to find out if your local authority provides Solar Rewards.

Peace of mind
Solar for London has an established network of plumbers and heating engineers experienced in installing solar water heating systems. All installers follow a code of practice ensuring that our high standards are delivered. Quality assurance checks on installations are made regularly.
