Get a grant - householders

Funding for householders is set at 30% of the installed cost of a renewable measure up to £4,000. Householders can also apply for separate grants for two different technologies.

The following criteria must be met:

• the applicant must own the property where the renewable energy system is to be installed
• the renewable energy system must be for a permanently sited building or mobile home
• one quote from an accredited installer must be provided
• the system must be designed, installed and commissioned by an approved installer using approved system components

SCHRI supports a range of renewable energy technologies including:

• solar photovoltaics
• micro hydro-electric
• micro wind
• solar water heating
• solar space heating
• automated wood fuel heating systems (boilers and room heaters/stoves)
• heat pumps (ground, air and water source)
• connections to the Lerwick District Heating Network *(applies to heat exchanger only. Radiators/internal heat distribution system not eligible for grant)

*Connections to the Lerwick District Heat Scheme in Shetland qualify for funding because the primary fuel source is energy from waste, an eligible option under SCHRI.
