A number of companies offer Free Solar Panels in the UK and understandably people wonder if this is a con or some form of scam and if the panels really are free.

The answer is that it normally is a genuine offer and the panels are free but you won't benefit from the Feed in Tariff and only get any free electricity you can use.

There are also other offers where you are offered a loan to pay back, often these ones are not worth doing as they could cost you substantially.
