Thinking about solar panels or battery storage for your home? There may be ways to spread the cost.
Nationwide currently offers eligible existing mortgage customers the option to borrow £5,000–£20,000 for approved energy-efficient improvements, including solar PV and battery storage. The borrowing has a 0% rate for the first 2 or 5 years, subject to the lender’s criteria and availability. After that, any outstanding balance moves to Nationwide’s standard mortgage rate.
Other lenders have green home improvement options too. Barclays has a Greener Home Reward for eligible mortgage customers, while Leeds Building Society and Skipton Building Society offer additional borrowing for approved energy-saving improvements, including solar.
The options and conditions differ between lenders. Mortgage borrowing is secured against your home, so speak to your lender and check the full terms before deciding.
