For Solar PV you get paid for the renewable electricity you generate through the Feed In Tariff.  [Update: abolished in 2019.]

You can also get paid for generating renewable heat, by solar thermal, biomass boilers or heat pumps, through the Renewable Heat Incentive.  [Update: abolished in 2022.]

You may be able to get support or grants for other improvements such as replacing single glazed windows, upgrading old gas boilers to a condensing boiler, or installing insulation.  There are various sources, and things change all the time.
