Solar panels
Generate your own clean electricity, cut what you buy from the grid, and shield yourself from rising prices.
Solar installations are currently VAT-free until 31 March 2027, making now a smart time to invest in your home.
What are solar panels?
Solar panels convert daylight to electricity, work all year and on cloudy days, and cut your reliance on the grid.
How it works
Capture daylight
Solar panels generate power from light, not heat, so they work even on overcast days.
Convert to power
An inverter turns light into the electricity your home runs on.
Use, store or export
Power your home now, store the surplus in a battery, or export it for payments.
Solar panel benefits
Solar panels generate clean electricity from daylight, so you buy less from the grid. That means lower bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
Carbon dioxide emissions reduced for a typical home each year1
Annual savings on electricity bills1
Electricity you can’t use yourself and get paid for it. The Smart Export Guarantee lets you sell extra electricity to the grid.
Pair with battery storage
A battery stores the electricity your panels generate in the day so you can use it in the evening, instead of sending it back to the grid.
FAQs
The questions we get asked most, answered honestly.
How much do solar panels cost?
A typical domestic solar system is around 3.5kWp and costs in the region of £6,1001, though your final price depends on your roof size, system size, and how many panels you need. There's no dedicated government grant for solar, unlike heat pumps, which qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Residential solar installations do currently benefit from 0% VAT, which is in place until 31 March 2027. We'll give you an exact price after a free in-person survey of your roof.
Are solar panels worth it?
For most homes with a suitable, unshaded roof, yes, solar panels reduce how much electricity you buy from the grid and can be paired with a battery to use more of what you generate. How much value you get depends heavily on your roof's orientation, pitch and any shading, which is exactly why we survey every property in person rather than quoting from satellite images.
How much can I save with solar panels?
Your savings depend on your roof conditions, how much of your generated electricity you use versus export, and your household's energy habits. Rather than quote a generic figure that may not apply to your home, we'll model your likely savings using the details from your in-person survey.
How long does solar installation take?
Most solar panel installations are completed within two to three days.
Is my roof suitable for solar panels?
If your roof is unshaded and faces east, south or west, there's a good chance your home is suitable for solar panels. Roof age, structural condition and any shading from trees or nearby buildings can all affect suitability, which is why we always survey in person before quoting rather than relying on satellite imagery alone.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
Most homes don't need planning permission for solar panels, as installation is usually considered permitted development, though it's worth checking with your local planning office if you're in a listed building or conservation area.2
