Guardian Systems use MCS approved certified products and are also approved MCS installers - Registration no. COR 118 - which allow customers to access the grants and loans.
The Energy Saving Scotland home renewables scheme is managed by the Energy Saving Trust in Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government.
The scheme offers grants of 30% (up to max £4,000) off the total cost of products and installation of Solar Hot Water Heating systems.
On average a customer would expect to pay £3,500 - £4,000 excluding the solar grant.
This grant scheme applies only to residential buildings in Scotland.
You must be the owner and resident of the property. The property must be used by you or your family as your principal private residence.
The grant is not available for businesses or leased properties.
This includes residential properties owned by a business, or properties with a mixed residential and business use such as a Bed & Breakfast. Such businesses can apply for an interest-free small business loan from the Energy Saving Trust in Scotland.
