# The Net Zero Home Scheme > The Net Zero Home Scheme is a free employee benefit for UK employers. It gives employees member-only pricing, up to 15% off, on home energy technology such as solar panels, air source heat pumps and battery storage, installed by vetted nationwide installers. It costs the employer nothing to offer, sits entirely outside payroll and carries no financial risk or liability for the business.

Employers want to help with both, but rarely have budget for it. The scheme is run by Net Zero Benefits, the team behind The Electric Car Scheme, the UK's largest independent salary sacrifice provider. The scheme uses that combined buying power to give employees pricing they cannot get on the open market, at no cost and no risk to the employer. ## Who it is for - UK employers, specifically HR, reward, benefits and sustainability teams looking for a cost-of-living or net zero benefit that requires no budget. - Employees of those organisations, including homeowners and renters, who want to cut their home energy bills and emissions. ## Key facts - Cost to the employer: £0. There is no fee, no funding commitment and no minimum headcount. - Discount for employees: up to 15% off list prices on in-scheme technology. - Payroll impact: none. No salary sacrifice, no deductions, no benefit-in-kind reporting. - Risk to the employer: none. Contracts sit between the household and the installer. - Coverage: nationwide across the United Kingdom. - Installers: accredited and certified, including MCS, TrustMark, RECC, HIES and NICEIC. - Onboarding: one short scheme agreement, then a launch comms pack for employees. ## How it works 1. Launch: the employer signs one short agreement and shares the comms pack. No cost and no setup work. 2. Employees save: employees get a live online quote at member pricing for their own property, with no hard sell. 3. Install: a vetted, accredited installer surveys, handles grant paperwork where relevant, and completes the installation. ## What it is not - It is not a salary sacrifice scheme. Nothing is deducted from pay. - It is not a loan or a finance product offered by the employer. - It does not supply energy itself. Discounted tariffs are offered through partner suppliers, and the supply contract sits between the household and that supplier. - It is not funded by the employer. The employer provides access, not budget. - It is not restricted to homeowners. Renters can use plug-in solar and other portable options. ## Products in the scheme - [Solar panels](https://net-zero-home-scheme.lovable.app/catalogue/solar-panels): Tier-1 rooftop PV, designed around the property and fitted by accredited teams. Less bought from the grid, every daylight hour. - [Air source heat pumps](https://net-zero-home-scheme.lovable.app/catalogue/air-source-heat-pumps): A managed route off gas heating, with survey, grant paperwork and installation handled end to end. - [Battery storage](https://net-zero-home-scheme.lovable.app/catalogue/battery-storage): Store cheap and self-generated power, then use it when the grid is most expensive. The core of a lower bill. - [Plug-in solar](https://net-zero-home-scheme.lovable.app/catalogue/plug-in-solar): Balcony and garden solar for employees who can't fit a full roof array. No works, no landlord permission drama. - [Energy tariff](https://net-zero-home-scheme.lovable.app/catalogue/energy-tariff): Discounted energy tariffs through partner suppliers.
