Please I'm not here to judge anyone or find different solutions. I have a practical project and when I find someone who can really help I will go through my equipment needed with them.
Thanks for all your advice on ideas but already know what is needed.

Practically speaking then, as FreeBear suggests, what you need is a personal loan.

If you already have a solid design you’re sure of and the project will result in a material reduction in energy costs, this may well be the best way forward and could perhaps provide room to upscale from the get go.

A loan is not practical that's why I'm trying to find a grant as I already stated  just barely paying my bills I can't take out a loan and have more outlay. all I am trying to do is get down existing debts on my energy and the best way would be to get the equipment with a grant so that I can do this I know there is all different options and suggestions out there but as I say I'm just after the £1000 to buy the equipment and it would take a lot of stress off my back as I could just start my project

There's plenty people 'just after £1,000' but with the same chance you have off getting it, nil I'm afraid.

At a push can get it lower than £1000
3.2kwh 50v Hybrid inverter built in MPPT £189.99
2x 435w 36v Solare panel £85.89 each
2x 200ah 12v lithium batteries £200 each
Just a rough guide but could look for sales and better inverter and more batteries

Wow - that's impressive pricing. Could I ask you who the suppliers are as those prices are way better than I've found? What kind of guarantee do you get?  Have you done the sums and worked out how much that would save or would you like me to dig out my spreadsheet? I have a system based on a single 200Ah battery that I share between a domestic backup system and my caravan.

A 12v 200ah lithium battery is almost £600 at easunpower. £200 is a typical price for a lead-acid one.

2x 12v batteries is only 24v. Your hybrid inverter wants 50v (most likely 48v). 4x 12v 100Ah would work. They're £280 each so that's £1120.

Sorry batteries are from a different site cheaper but it's on my pc and I'm on my phone. The mppt controls the voltage to cope with the 12v/24v/48v so will just treacle energy to the batteries and the inverter is 3000w so will cope with house appliances as I use them. It is to charge the batteries then use inverter maybe daily depending on weather if not every other day

Trickle or treacle?

Sorry about the spelling the charge controller will adjust the voltage and feed electricity power to the batteries
