What is the Non-Domestic Microgen Grant?

The Non-Domestic Microgen Grant (NDMG) provides specific financial assistance to help businesses and other sectors install solar PV panels to generate electricity on-site. This technology reduces commercial electricity costs, increases security of supply, and enhances a positive sustainability image.

The grant operates on a tiered funding basis, supporting Solar PV installations up to 1,000kWp (1MW). The grant amount is determined by the standard output (kWp) of the system installed.
