To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent steps she has taken to financially support the installation of solar panel installation on homes.
Michael Shanks
Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
Deploying rooftop solar remains a key priority for the Government and the forthcoming Solar Roadmap will set out actions for how we and industry will work together to achieve our ambition.
As the first step towards the Warm Homes Plan, the Government has committed an initial £3.4 billion over the next 3 years towards heat decarbonisation and household energy efficiency, with £1bn of this allocated to next year (2025 – 26). Additional funding will be considered in Phase 2 of the Spending Review as the Warm Homes Plan is further developed.
Additionally, the Smart Export Guarantee continues to ensure that homes with solar panels installed receive payment for the excess renewable electricity they export to the grid.
