You may have seen the Government’s recent announcement of the Warm Homes Plan, and like many homeowners, you might be wondering what it actually means, and whether it’s something worth paying attention to.
While full details are still to be confirmed, this is one announcement we’re genuinely excited about.
At Novus Energy, we’ve spent years installing solar PV and battery storage systems in homes across the UK. We’ve seen first-hand the difference that generating your own energy can make, not just to energy bills, but to confidence, comfort, and peace of mind at home.
Why this matters (from real-world experience)
With over a thousand solar and battery installations completed, the pattern is always the same. Once a system is up and running, customers tell us they wish they’d done it sooner.
- Lower electricity bills.
- Less reliance on the grid.
- More control over how and when energy is used.
The Warm Homes Plan has the potential to make these benefits accessible to far more households, particularly those who’ve previously felt priced out of renewable energy upgrades.
What we know so far about the Warm Homes Plan
At the moment, the Warm Homes Plan has been announced at a high level, with more detail expected over the coming months. Early indications suggest a focus on:
- Making homes warmer and cheaper to run
- Improving energy efficiency across the housing stock
- Supporting renewable technologies like solar PV and battery storage
- Reducing upfront costs through low- or no-interest finance
- Fully funded measures for eligible low-income households
If this delivers as intended, it could remove one of the biggest barriers we see every day: the initial cost of installation.
Why solar and batteries are such a powerful combination
Solar panels generate clean electricity during the day. Battery storage allows you to keep that energy and use it later, in the evenings, during peak tariffs, or when the sun isn’t shining.
Together, they can dramatically reduce how much electricity you need to buy from the grid.
That’s why we’re encouraged to see solar and storage likely forming part of the Warm Homes Plan conversation.
What happens next?
Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be actively:
- Monitoring official guidance as it’s released
- Speaking with delivery partners and industry bodies
- Understanding how funding and eligibility may work in practice
As soon as we have clear, confirmed information, we’ll share it in plain English, no jargon, no guesswork.
Interested in solar or funding support?
If you’re thinking about solar or battery storage and want to understand how the Warm Homes Plan could apply to your home, we’d recommend registering your interest early.
We’ll be launching a funding waitlist shortly, so homeowners can receive updates as soon as funding routes are confirmed.

This is one of the most promising developments we’ve seen in a long time when it comes to making renewable energy more accessible. We’re looking forward to seeing how it develops, and helping homeowners make the most of it.
