Solar and Renewable Energy: Funding made simple
Renewable energy funding is a big deal for our customers, so we’ve made it a big deal for us, too. We know you’ve got enough on your plate without chasing the latest updates or digging for the right info. That’s our job, and we’re happy to do the legwork.
Unlock 45% extra ECO4 funding when you install solar with us. Our solar panels are awarded Ofgem Innovation Status.
Our solar system combines Tigo Optimisers and a Tigo CCA device that boost performance by minimising energy loss from shading and module mismatch, and help to reduce panel degradation losses. This ensures maximum energy output in real-world conditions; giving your customers a smarter, more efficient system.
Every installation comes with a 25-year extended warranty, covering eligible system components for the long term. We issue a property-specific warranty certificate for each install, offering total transparency and reassurance.
How to qualify for the 45% uplift in ECO4 funding:
- Onboard with us as an InstaGroup approved installer
- Include all required data and images of the install
- Provide the customer with the Tigo app user guide as part of the handover
Once the install is complete, simply contact us at productsupply@instagroup.co.uk to arrange your technical sign-off and receive your official certification.

You can get funding which covers Solar Panels under ECO4 for low-income and eligible benefit recipients, but this is more of a whole house approach which looks at the fabric of the building and the heating. Solar panels can only be installed under ECO4 if the existing heating system is an Electric boiler heating, a wet central heating system, High Heat Retention Storage Heaters, or an Air Source Heat Pump. If these elements aren’t present, then you can only do solar PV if you also install air source heat pump or high heat retention storage heaters.
Homeowners / Residents can be eligible for ECO4 if they are a recipient of one of the below:
- Income-based Jobseekers Allowance (JSA)
- Income related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
- Income Support (IS)
- Pension Credit Guarantee Credit (PCGC)
- Working Tax Credit (WTC)
- Child Tax Credit (CTC)
- Universal Credit (UC)
- Housing Benefit
- Pension Credit Savings Credit (PCSC)
- Child Benefit (subject to income caps and composition)
They could also be eligible if the household is on low-income and has a combined income from everyone over the age of 18 of £31,000 or below.
Or, they could qualify if they have a health condition which falls under one of the below umbrella condition:
- A cardiovascular condition
- A respiratory disease
- Limited mobility
- Immunosuppression
Yes, ECO4 projects are Government backed and Energy Company funded. Energy companies and Ofgem review ECO4 projects to ensure scheme rules are followed. The projects also have to be done in accordance with PAS 2023 regulations, which were written by BSI and audited by TrustMark.
Money is made when excess power generated from solar panels is sent back to the grid, after the electrical consumption in the house has been supplied firstly.
The customer must qualify for a government-backed scheme like ECO4 or Warm homes: Local Grant, which are primarily for low-income households or those with energy-inefficient home (EPC rating D or lower).
