    The Ecology Building Society is the obvious choice but I couldn't find anything on their website.

    If you are in Bolton this would be ideal:

    Maybe other credit unions will offer something similar?

    The articles I looked at suggested they won't be available for some months, at least.
    It's also not clear whether they would be available for solar panels when the feed-in tariff is already heavily "subsidised" by the utility companies.
