ECO4 is a government grant managed by Ofgem which places an obligation on medium-to-large energy providers to make energy-efficient upgrades accessible to vulnerable, low-income families living in homes with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D or below.
An ECO4 grant may entitle you to free solar panels as part of wider energy efficiency improvements for your home including boilers, heat pumps and insulation measures. More than 17 per cent of Independent readers who own solar panels took advantage of an ECO4 grant when installing their system*.
The ECO scheme has gone through several phases, each with slight differences in focus and eligibility criteria. Currently in its fourth phase, you could qualify for ECO4 funding if you receive any of the following benefits:
You could be eligible for ECO4 if you receive other benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions, regardless of whether you receive Universal Credit.
The ECO4 grant mainly focuses on owner-occupied homes. That said, if you’re a landlord with private tenants, you can apply for ECO4 on behalf of tenants who receive any of the benefits above.

Balcony solar systems are booming across Germany. Generating electricity can save money and get people interested in green energy, say experts. But do the systems pay off for everyone?
Germany has seen a massive surge in the installation of plug-in solar systems. The number of small systems registered increased more than seven-fold in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year, according to official figures.
"The market is gigantic," plug-in solar advocate Christian Ofenheusle told DW. He runs the Berlin-based company EmpowerSource which promotes these relatively cheap mini systems. By 2030, he predicts there could be "12 million plug-in solar systems in Germany."
Small solar systems are also becoming increasingly popular in China. In the megacity of Hangzhou, they're a common sight on large apartment buildings, according to Hans-Josef Fell, president of the Energy Watch Group, a renewables think-tank in Berlin, and former Green Party lawmaker.
In Italy, meanwhile, the largest electricity supplier, Enel, is also promoting this form of plug-and-play home energy generation.
There is "a great deal of interest" in the technology in other European countries such as Poland, France, the Netherlands, the UK, Austria, Switzerland and Hungary, said Ofenheusle. Each of the states has also tried to cut the red tape around installing such units.
Germany too plans to simplify the installation of the devices, with advocates saying they could complement the energy transition if enough people install them.
The Benefits of Installing Solar Panels on Balconies
Introduction:
The world is at a critical juncture in its efforts to combat climate change. With the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions becoming more urgent, renewable energy sources like solar power have gained increasing attention. While traditional solar panel installations on rooftops and large solar farms are common, a less explored but promising avenue is the installation of solar panels on balconies. This essay will explore the benefits of installing solar panels on balconies, which have the potential to revolutionize the way we harness clean energy and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Optimal Use of Space:
One of the most significant advantages of installing solar panels on balconies is the optimal use of available space. Balconies often receive direct sunlight throughout the day, making them ideal locations for solar panel installations. This efficient use of existing space can help maximize energy generation without encroaching on valuable land resources.
Increased Energy Independence:
Solar panels on balconies empower individuals and businesses to reduce their dependence on traditional energy sources. By generating their electricity, homeowners and apartment dwellers can lower their electricity bills and become more self-sufficient. This not only saves money but also reduces the strain on the power grid.
Environmental Benefits:
Solar energy is one of the cleanest and most sustainable energy sources available. Solar panels generate electricity without emitting harmful pollutants, contributing to improved air quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. By installing solar panels on balconies, we can reduce our carbon footprint and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Energy Efficiency:
Balcony-mounted solar panels are often installed close to where the energy is consumed, reducing energy transmission losses. This proximity increases the overall energy efficiency of the system and ensures that more of the generated energy is effectively utilized.
Aesthetic Appeal:
Solar panels on balconies can enhance the aesthetics of a building. Modern solar panels are available in various designs, and they can be integrated into balcony railings and structures. This blend of function and form makes solar panels a visually appealing addition to any property.
Financial Incentives:
Governments and local authorities in many regions offer financial incentives and tax credits to individuals and businesses that install solar panels. These incentives can significantly offset the initial investment costs and provide a compelling reason to adopt solar energy.
Reduced Vulnerability to Power Outages:
Solar panels equipped with battery storage systems can provide power during grid outages. This energy security is especially valuable during emergencies and natural disasters, ensuring that essential appliances and devices remain operational.
Technological Advancements:
The solar energy industry is rapidly evolving, leading to more efficient and cost-effective solar panel technologies. This makes it an opportune time to invest in balcony-mounted solar panels, as newer innovations continue to improve their performance and affordability.
Community and Urban Development:
Implementing solar panels on balconies in urban areas can foster a sense of community and contribute to local development. Neighbours and communities can collaborate on shared solar energy initiatives, creating a more sustainable and eco-friendly living environment.
Versatility and Adaptability:
Solar panels on balconies are versatile and adaptable. They can be installed on various types of balconies, including those in high-rise apartments and single-family homes. This adaptability makes them accessible to a wide range of individuals and organizations.
Conclusion:
The installation of solar panels on balconies is a practical and environmentally responsible approach to harnessing solar energy. The benefits are numerous, including optimal space utilization, increased energy independence, reduced environmental impact, and financial incentives. As solar panel technology continues to advance, the advantages of balcony-mounted solar panels will only become more pronounced. It's time to recognize the untapped potential of balconies as platforms for renewable energy generation and take significant steps toward a sustainable future.
