The Energy Saving Trust  and Clear Skies used to issue the grants. Now all the grants are issued by the Low Carbon Buildings Programme. Now £2500 is available for the installation of PV this amount has been reduced over the years but from April 2010 it is expected that 'Feed in Tariffs' at the rate of 36p per kwh. At the moment it is unclear if the capital grant will still be available. In order to qualify  for a grant you must be able to show that you have lower your energy usage by  the instalment of  fairly basis things like fitting low energy light bulbs and getting the loft insulated

In our view this all seems to makes sense if you haven't got these basic energy saving measures already you should be getting a grant for energy generation anyway!
