Heva Energy has launched a salary sacrifice scheme for residential solar, battery storage and EV charge points.
The scheme allows employees to fund clean energy systems through pre-tax salary reductions, removing the upfront cost barrier that 80% of households cite as the biggest obstacle to going solar. Employees access solar panels, home batteries or EV charge points through their employer with no upfront cost and no consumer credit check. Payments are deducted from gross salary before income tax and National Insurance are calculated. Heva Energy says the NHS and The National Lottery Community Fund are already participating employers.
Ian Napier, Co-Founder, Heva Energy, said, “Energy price disruption is not short-term. It is a structural shift, and most households have no mechanism to protect themselves from it. Consumer finance for solar locks you into credit checks and 12% interest rates, while salary sacrifice removes both barriers and offers the deepest savings for those who need them most. This is about transforming energy independence from a luxury to a workplace benefit accessible to every taxpayer. We have seen demand triple in a month. People are looking at their bills and deciding they want a way out.”
The scheme uses Tesla Powerwall and EcoFlow hardware.
