The Government has a range of existing schemes and mechanisms which support rooftop solar deployment such as the Smart Export Guarantee, ensuring homes with solar panels get payment for the renewable electricity they export to the grid. In addition, the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, The Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, and The Home Upgrade Grant and the Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery (LAD) Scheme, all include solar panels as an eligible measure.
