Closed Include Solar PV and battery storage in the Greener Homes Grant

Closed on

This would open up Solar PV and battery storage up to more households, enabling more homes to save money on their electricity bills and earn revenue through the smart export guarantee as well as reducing their carbon footprint.

We believe the current grid and way we use energy is unsustainable. One way of addressing this is by reducing reliance on the grid. This is where Solar PV and battery will help. Spending now on reducing the reliance on the grid will save countless billions on upgrades.

    Have you tried to access the Green Homes Grant? MPs want to hear from you. 

    Have you tried to get money from the Government’s new Green Homes Grant to make your home more energy efficient? 

    A group of MPs called the Environmental Audit Committee would like to hear about your experiences of the application process. 

    You can share your experiences here: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=nt3mHDeziEC-Xo277ASzSsdf6aRbb_hHi61kcnJ3-KJURFhDR01KQlkxVlQ4Wk5BN1UyTUJKTzA1Ui4u 

    They’d like to hear from you by 16 November. Your answers will help them to understand the issues people are facing and what questions MPs need to ask the Government.  

    They might publish some or all of your responses, or read them out when they’re asking questions in a public Committee meeting or in the House of Commons. So please don’t share any personal information that you don’t want to be public. 

    You can get updates on their work by following the Committee on Twitter @CommonsEAC or on their website: https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/62/environmental-audit-committee
