Grant is available first come, first served with a total of £2 million made available. You can apply for a grant of up to £15,000. All projects are expected to take up to 6 months and must be completed and claimed by the end of March 2026 at the latest.

What do other clients say?
Absolutely no regrets
After several proposals and quotes, we chose Fit Solar to install our system; absolutely no regrets, cost-effective, professional advice and installation by a considerate and capable team.
My electricity bill has halved already.
I was recommended FIT Solar by another electrician. From the first contact, they were timely, efficient, and very knowledgeable. I followed their recommendations, and I could not be happier with the outcome. They installed three 5kw batteries and a 6kw solar panel system.
I only have electricity at the house (no gas), and I run an electric vehicle. I charge the car solely at home, heat my hot water, and my electricity bill has halved already.
I would highly recommend this local company.
I highly recommend them
Great Service from initial contact through to system handover, I can’t believe how much we are now saving on our electric bills, I highly recommend them.
