If you’re considering solar panels in North London, there’s one huge financial benefit you should know about — 0% VAT on residential solar installations. This government incentive makes going solar in 2025 even more affordable.
Here’s how it works, who qualifies, and why now is the perfect time to make the switch.
💷 What Is the 0% VAT Solar Scheme?
In April 2022, the UK government introduced a 0% VAT rate for certain energy-saving materials, including solar panels and battery storage. The scheme has been extended into 2025, meaning you don’t pay any VAT on the cost of your system.
For a typical installation, that’s a saving of 20% compared to pre‑2022 pricing.
✅ Who Qualifies?
To be eligible for 0% VAT:
- Your property must be residential (flats, houses, bungalows, etc.)
- The installation must be carried out by an MCS-certified installer (like Keenan Solar)
- The system can include battery storage and inverters
Commercial properties may still benefit from reduced VAT rates, but not the full zero rate.
📊 How Much Can You Save?
Example:
- System cost before VAT: £10,000
- VAT at 20% (before scheme): £2,000
- Saving with 0% VAT: £2,000 kept in your pocket
That’s before factoring in the long-term bill savings from your solar panels.
🔋 Battery Storage Is Also Covered
Adding a battery to your system lets you store excess electricity during the day for use at night — and battery storage is included in the 0% VAT scheme.
