In short
Solar panels and battery storage installed in homes in Great Britain currently qualify for 0% VAT. Batteries added to an existing system have qualified since 1 February 2024. The relief is currently due to end on 31 March 2027, after which the rate is set to return to 5%.
Commercial installations are charged at the standard rate. VAT-registered businesses can normally reclaim it in the usual way.
