Free quote in one working day. [Get a Quote →](/quote) Several national and regional schemes can reduce — or eliminate — the cost of solar panels for Burnley homes. Scheme rules change, so we check current eligibility on every enquiry before recommending a route. ## What solar grants are currently available? Depending on your circumstances, one or more of the following may apply in Burnley: - **Warm Homes Plan** — flagship 2026 scheme funding solar, battery storage, insulation and heat pumps for eligible households. - **ECO4** — energy supplier-funded efficiency upgrades for lower-income households in EPC D–G properties. - **Warm Homes Local Grant (Lancashire)** — Lancashire-administered funding for low-income households in low-EPC homes. - **solar** — automatic price reduction on qualifying installs until at least March 2027. - **Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)** — ongoing payments for exported electricity, paid by your energy supplier. For a full walkthrough of the flagship scheme locally, see our [Warm Homes Plan in Burnley](/guides/warm-homes-plan-burnley) guide. If you don't qualify, you can still spread the cost — see [solar panel finance in Burnley](/guides/solar-panel-finance-burnley). ## Who may qualify in Burnley? Burnley has a high share of pre-1980 terraced and semi-detached housing with lower EPC ratings, which means a meaningful proportion of BB10, BB11 and BB12 households meet the property criteria for grant-funded solar. Typical qualifying factors: - Receiving Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Housing Benefit, Tax Credits or similar income-related benefits - Household income below scheme thresholds - EPC rating of D, E, F or G - Owner-occupier or tenant (with landlord agreement) of the property Not on a benefit? SEG still apply to every install regardless of income, and the Warm Homes Plan has broader eligibility than ECO4 for working households on modest incomes. ## Can grants cover solar panels and battery storage? Yes — in many cases. Under the Warm Homes Plan and ECO4, battery storage can be included alongside solar panels where it improves the overall energy outcome for the property. The exact specification depends on roof size, household consumption and retrofit assessor recommendations. For self-funded installs also applies to batteries installed at the same time as solar, which materially reduces the upfront cost. ### Find out which grants you qualify for A 10-minute call confirms eligibility before any survey or quote.

Yes. The Warm Homes Plan is live, ECO4 has been extended under its umbrella, and SEG remain in place. Specific scheme rules can change, so we confirm current availability at the quote stage. ### Can I get a fully funded solar install in Burnley? Eligible households in BB10, BB11 and BB12 may qualify for fully funded solar (plus battery and insulation in some cases) under the Warm Homes Plan or ECO4. We confirm this in writing after the survey. ### Do I need to switch energy supplier to get an ECO4 grant? No. ECO4 funding is portable across suppliers and does not require you to switch tariff or provider. ### What if my Burnley property doesn't qualify for a grant? We will still quote on a self-funded basis with applied. Typical payback for self-funded Burnley installs is 7–9 years at current energy prices, plus SEG income on exported electricity. ## Recent Solar Panel Projects Near Burnley ![The Harrison Family — Burnley Terrace](/assets/harrison-burnley-terrace-BdwDcLWA.jpg) Domestic / Residential ### The Harrison Family — Burnley Terrace 4.2kWp all-black array + 10kWh battery turning a Victorian terrace nearly grid-independent.
