One of the most significant incentives currently available in the UK is the Zero VAT policy on solar PV installations. This temporary VAT relief was introduced in April 2022 and remains a major advantage for anyone looking to install solar panels on their home. Previously, homeowners were charged a reduced 5% VAT rate on solar PV installations.
The 2023/24 consultation on the detailed specification for the FHS sought views on whether to require solar photovoltaic (PV) panels for new homes. Solar PV generation turns the sun's energy into electricity. Option 1 would have required solar PV panels covering the equivalent of 40% of a new home's ground floor area.
