Why this matters in Scotland
Scotland's renewable energy landscape moves quickly — grant rates change, tariff structures shift, technology gets cheaper. Our team tracks every relevant policy and product change.
If you're considering a renewable install in 2026, the maths almost certainly works better than it did even 18 months ago. Zero-rated VAT on qualifying domestic installs until 31 March 2027, Smart Export Guarantee payments on everything you export, 50% first-year capital allowances on commercial installs, and Octopus Flux peak export at 24p/kWh mean payback periods of 5-9 years are typical.
On funding, Home Energy Scotland support covers heat pumps (up to £7,500 grant plus up to £7,500 interest-free loan) and insulation, so if your project bundles one of those measures in, that element can be funded too.
