FUNDING AND GRANTS

There are several grants, tax incentives, and finance options available in 2025 to help UK businesses make the switch to solar PV. Find out more below.

The Annual Investment Allowance allows your business to deduct the full cost of eligible capital purchases, including solar panels, from your taxable profits, up to £1 million per year. This could reduce your corporation tax bill and improve the return on investment for your solar scheme.

Consult your accountant for information and advice and visit the gov.uk AIA page for more information

Some local authorities offer match-funding or direct grants for renewable energy installations through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). Launched in 2022 the UKSPS replaced the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) and allocated £2.6 billion for investment across the UK. Originally due to conclude in March 2025, the scheme has been extended until March 2026 so it’s not too late to benefit from the scheme, although availability and criteria do vary by region. Check with your local authority or LEP (Local Enterprise Partnership) to find out what is available in your area.

Once your panels are installed, you can earn money by exporting unused electricity back to the grid. Under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), energy suppliers pay you for each kilowatt-hour (kWh) you send to the grid. Launched in 2020 the government backed initiative is available for installations with a capacity of up to 5MW. It’s worth looking for the best deal as in our experience SEG tariffs can vary. More information about SEG is available on the Ofgem website.
