Hi Folks
I have seen some adverts that state you can get solar panels fitted for free, regardless of the fact whether or not you claim benefits.
Is that true?
Thanks

If you fall meet the qualifying criteria for ECO4 or a locally administered government grant (Warm Homes funding), you might get free solar panels. But don't hold your breath, and make sure it isn't one of these rent-a-roof schemes.geek84 said: I have seen some adverts that state you can get solar panels fitted for free, regardless of the fact whether or not you claim benefits.

Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

If it sticks, force it.
