All the threads on this subject are pretty old, so I'm starting a new one.

The government incentives to have solar and heat pump installed are pretty good at the moment if you qualify for a full system 'for free'. I would urge anyone currently on means tested benefits to look into getting one of these.

The means tested benefits that qualify are:

Child Tax Credit (income below £16,105 a year)
Council Tax Reduction (exemption and discount do not qualify on their own)
Housing Benefit
Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Income Support
Pension Credit
Universal Credit
Working Tax Credit (income below £16,105 a year)

Two people in my village have benefitted from the scheme and are well happy with the results. Someone else in receipt of child tax credits is thinking about it. One chap is disabled, the other on JSA after being made redundant. The whole thing was done in a month as insulation was OK.

Think about it folks, a new heating system and free leccy (whatever the solar generates) courtesy of the government seems like a good deal.
