Find out how to get money back from the Green Deal Home Improvement Fund.

The Green Deal helps you make energy-saving improvements to your home and find the best way to pay for them.
The improvements that could save you the most energy depend on your home, but typical examples include:

• insulation - eg solid wall, cavity wall or loft insulation
• heating
• draught-proofing
• double glazing
• renewable energy generation - eg solar panels or heat pumps

Find out if your home will benefit

There are various ways to check if your property could benefit from energy-saving improvements:

• use an online tool, eg the Stroma certification tool
• talk to a Green Deal assessor or provider
• use the energy grants calculator
• talk to Energy Savings Advice Service if you’re in England or Wales, or Home Energy Scotland if you’re in Scotland

The Green Deal may be right for you if you think your property could benefit from energy-saving improvements.

One of the more realistic ways in which that solar powered cars could become practical is to charge up their batteries when they are parked, during the day. Imagine driving the short distance to work and plugging the car into a set of photovoltaic solar panels. Whilst you are working the batteries charge up ready for use for the journey home. The same procedure could be carried out when the car is parked at home. A combination of solar power and wind power may prove to be a method of charging the batteries of ‘electric cars’.
