Thanks to your support, the Government is now reviewing a Solar Salary Sacrifice Scheme.

A sincere thank you to everyone who signed and shared the petition calling for a UK Salary Sacrifice Scheme for Solar Panels and Batteries. Your collective effort has helped move the conversation to the highest level.

This is a real step forward in making renewable energy more affordable and accessible for everyone - including renters and those without roof space. As soon as the scheme is confirmed, SaveOnWatts will be here to help you.  

We can't thank you enough for your support, but we hope our FREE instillation offer will go towards giving something back to the people who helped make this progress possible.

Why salary sacrifice helps

Paying through salary sacrifice can lower the effective cost because you pay less Income Tax and National Insurance on the amount you sacrifice. Actual savings depend on your tax band and employer policy.

→ Lower upfront cost vs. paying cash

→ Spread cost across pay periods

→ Own the equipment — portable if you move
