My Green Grant is an independent information service. We are NOT the government, Ofgem, or any official scheme, and we are not affiliated with them. Grant rules, amounts and dates change often — always confirm your eligibility on GOV.UK, Ofgem, or with your local council before acting. This is general information, not financial or tax advice. We connect you with independent MCS-certified installers and may be compensated by them.
