Even if they would actually install panels, the fact that they state that there is a “grant” is untrue. At best it’s a “sale.” No such govt grant exists. And calling it a “scheme” again implies a gove... Mehr ansehen

It's a scam
It's a scam. outright I called them up listened all the blurb then asked how they were going to legally connect 8 kw back to the grid (legal limit is about 4) it went very quiet at the other end so I said send me a quote which they did not.
Pure scam & attempted con
Just received what I assumed -and have now confirmed - is a scam letter from something called the green homes scheme.
Bad news outfit and an absolute con. Don't scan the QR code or respond in any way.
Some nasty people harvesting data to use for their profit whilst trying -not very cleverly - to present a green energy benefit front.
Don't be conned. Waste bin or shredder the only course of action if you receive one of their unsolicited letters addressed to The Homeowner in a scruffy brown envelope.
Fake offer
They are still trying to find new victims. I just got the letter claiming to be able to replace my old solar panels without it affecting my FIT payments. This is clearly a lie, because my FIT payments are capped and increasing my generation would take me above that cap. Also, my very rural electricity connection could not take the extra. So be careful and don't believe this letter!
Blatant scam letter
Blatant scam letter, lots of false statements about not losing your fit payments if you do what they say, But you definitely WILL do don’t be tempted by the letter with No real contact details and fact check all what they claim, I stopped after the first hurdle.
This is a scam
The "Green House Scheme" letter is a scam as it refers to the Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme, a now-closed UK government initiative from 2020 that provided vouchers to homeowners and landlords for energy efficiency home improvements, such as insulation and heat pumps. While closed to applications in March 2021, it was part of the UK's economic recovery from COVID-19 and aimed to reduce energy costs and support green initiatives.
Fails the sniff test on so many levels
No contact names given, unsolicited approach, possible dodgy QR link to 'register', no website, gives option to opt out of marketing by "using the below returns address" - but no returns address given. Naaaahhhhhh.
Bosun, steer to starboard and give this one a very wide berth.
Ignore this letter
Ignore this letter - the Government Grant ended in 2021.
This is nothing more than a marketing letter, aimed at conning you into spending money on an overpriced product.
I repeat, there is no Grant available - I've checked.
Clearly to be avoided even if details…
Clearly to be avoided even if details true doesnt add up. If receiving FIT wait until they finish before doing anything. Then speak to an established company with a proven track record. Inverter fails shop around for a replacement. Not likely cost justifiable replacing old panels until they are dead
Same old scam ...
I've received the same letter as everyone else here - brown envelope, addressed to "homeowner", £4,000 grant, etc.. I've been considering upgrading my 11yo 4kW system for a while, but have been told by Octopus that doing so would void the 25-year FIT; curiously, EDF, through whom my FIT is paid, disagree, saying it would simply pay me more. However, the use of red text, bold font, and exclamation marks in the letter strongly suggests that it's a scam. This isn't the first time Green Homes Scheme has sent me this letter, but I'll once again forward a copy to trading standards and Action Fraud.
BEWARE!
Received unsolicited letter this morning. Obviously a scam. BINNED!
Green Homes Scheme letter looks suspicious
We have received a Green Homes Scheme letter claiming that we could earn an extra 10p in addition to our Feed In Tariff (FIT) payment and also advising that we could replace our existing 250 Watt panels with 435 Watt panels.
We think that replacing our panels is only legitimate if we replace our system with one with the same power.
The extra 10p per kW may be as a result of registering with the Smart Export Guarantee (SIG) scheme, which would mean loosing our Deemed Export payments, a small part of our FIT payments, and replacing them with a scheme whereby a tariff is paid to our Net Gain (Panel Power less Appliance Use Power). This would not apply at any instance when our appliance total draw is in excess of our Solar PV production
In our case we have a Tesla Powerwall and so actual SEG type Net Gains are rare, because all our generated Solar Energy is joined by our Grid Charged Energy into our Powerwall, and only rarely, when our Powerwall raches it's maximum charge, does an Export occur.
Basically te Green Homes Scheme letter looks suspicious, as it's no Company Address on it, and the representatives may be 'Teenages' rather than qualified experts.
Suspicious letter addressed to "Home Owner"
Unsolicited letter addressed to "Home Owner" from "Green Homes Scheme" about "Your Solar PV System.
Printed standard document stated "Our records indicate you have solar panels installed"
If we replaced our existing 250 w panels with 435 w
we would be entitled to a grant of up to £4,000 and an extra 10p per kw of generation in addition to our fit payments.
The requires registration to obtain the grant and does not provide a link to a government website in order to do so.
Instead of providing a website address or link for the Homeowner to check the company credentials a QR code is printed instead. This was suspicious or the need to phone is difficult for a hearing impaired person or could involve elderly people in high pressure sales.
Suspicions verified by reviews on Trust Pilot and also warnings from the Citizens Advice Bureau " 19 million targeted by a Green Scam" and Money Saving Expert.
It would be great if scam operations were dealt with more efficiently and heavy fines and penalties imposed. This would protect both consumers and genuine business offers
Scam! Leave well alone!
I received a letter addressed to "Homeowner". They know I've got 12x250W panels but don't know my name. I ran the details and their website through grok.com and it said "Scam!" and explained. The government grant closed in March 2021. This is a marketing company that refers enquirers to third party installers who have inflated their panel price to swallow the £4k "grant". They also need a new inverter, which they fail to mention. Steer clear!
Scam or Not - they’re getting no contact from me.
Like many others - plain envelope addressed to Homeowner.
£4k in grants, made up of £2k grant & £120 per panel exchange? The exchange per panel is almost double the cost of a new 450w panel???!!
No mention of the Inverter cost to upgrade.
Extra 10p per kw generated - Octopus have the best FIT tariff at the moment, fixed at 15p.
They’re not a Government or independent Solar Company. They are a marketing company who put you in touch with Solar Companies?!
How do they know I have 250w panels installed, but not my name?
Scam or not, they’re getting no business from me.
Received the same letter addressed to…
Received the same letter addressed to Homeowner. Scheme does not exist so it's a scam as others have said. Letter now filed in the bin.
Manilla envelope designed to look like…
Manilla envelope designed to look like government communication🤔with small 'Marketing letter' under the return address 🤬
The Government scheme ended in 2022.
Typical Yanky scam, steer well clear, I shall try to alert Trading Standards and Martin Lewis of Moneysaving Expert.
Looks like another scam
Also had the letter - addressed to the homeowner - and the overpromises are ridiculous. Will forward it to my local trading standards, and maybe some action will be taken.
Government grant? Rubbish
There is currently no Government grant, yet their site says there is. Their claims are nonsense as others have said. Bin it.
Letter came in the post this morning
Letter came in the post this morning. Definitely a Scam. Received a warning email from Good Energy ten days ago.
Shred this letter its spam
Not a mathematician but how does upgrading from 250w panels to 450w panels equal 10% increase. Obviously new panels will require a new invertor, as per many other comments on here letter addressed to home owner, yet another solar spam company, I'm happy with the system I have and on the highest rate.
