Free solar panels ?

phill2-0-0-3

Hi I've just been contacted about free solar panels . 

Wondered if any one has dealt with evergen solar ? 

I've read the reviews doesn't look promising . 

I was looking into panels a while ago but funds wouldn't allow . 

With the increase in electric it's definitely something I would be interested in , as I'll be staying in the property indefinitely 
Maybe 40+ years if I get lucky enough to live that long . 

Does anyone have anyone they can recommend and system if this supplier doesn't work out . 

Many thanks

Who exactly contacted you?

To the best of my knowledge, the only way currently to get free solar panels is via the ECO scheme which is for low-income households with poor-energy-efficiency homes. Does this describe you?

Evergen .

I am on low income . 
I wouldnt state poor-energy-efficiency though .
As we had a new combi boiler and wall/loft insulation 

I will look into that company to see if I'm a candidate 

Many thanks

Poor efficiency is defined by the EPC, anything with D or worse, I think. You would probably be better off going to your council website and working your way through the links to the company they recommend just to make sure it is not a scam. Low income is defined as total household income under 30k. You will need a south(ish) facing roof to qualify for solar, as well. I have applied myself as my EPC is E, though two huge bay windows with pre-fensa glazing facing directly north is the main heat escape route.
