When installing a LaZer2 solar hot water system you may be able to claim a 50% (up to £50,000) grant through the Community Sustainable Energy Programme (CSEP). Applications are very involved and there is no guarantee you will be awarded a grant as the funding rounds are competitive. We can assist you through the application process.

The Carbon Trust does offer interest loans to encourage businesses to save carbon. In our experience the reality is that the loan requirements mean it is virtually impossible to take out a loan for anything other than a very small percentage of the total cost of the system

Housing Developers
Unfortunately there are no financial incentives for housing developers. However it may be possible for your buyers to claim a grant through the LCBP or SCHRI schemes detailed above.
