 "public_note": "If you live in Scotland, there is no grant and no loan for solar panels or batteries. That is the honest answer and it is not the one most websites give you. It was withdrawn in 2024. Sites still advertising a £6,000 interest-free solar loan for Scotland are quoting something that has not existed for over two years. The one thing still funded is hybrid solar thermal, at £5,000 on an interest-free loan.",
