From 2027 the government plans to fold the Warm Homes Local Grant into one larger scheme for low-income households, and solar panels and batteries are both named in it. What it will be called, who will qualify and when it opens have not been published. When they are, this page will say so. Anyone telling you the rules of a scheme that does not exist yet is guessing.",
