Solar Technologies can help your organisation create a project which fulfils the criteria required to apply for a government grant under the Low Carbon Buildings Programme phase 1.
Launched on 1st April 2006, phase one of the BERR's LCBP low carbon buildings programme will run over three years and replaces the previous DTI Clear Skies and Solar PV grant programmes.
Open to householders, public, not for profit and commercial organisations across the UK (except the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man), the programme will demonstrate how energy efficiency and microgeneration can work hand in hand to create low carbon buildings.
LCBP Phase 1 grant streams
Two streams of grants are available under the Low Carbon Buildings Programme phase one funding:
- Stream one: for house-holders and community organisations.
- Stream two: for medium and large microgeneration projects by the public, not for profit and commercial organisations
