Solar Panels

A typical 4kWp domestic solar system costs between £6,000 and £9,500 fully installed, including 0% VAT. Larger 6kWp systems or those with battery storage typically range from £10,000 to £14,500.

Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct heat, producing useful power even on overcast days. UK panels typically generate 15-25% of summer output during winter months.

The SEG requires licensed UK electricity suppliers to pay homeowners for surplus solar electricity exported to the grid, typically between 5p and 25p per kWh, depending on supplier.

Quality solar panels carry a 25-year performance warranty. Most panels continue generating well beyond 30 years, while inverters typically need replacing around year 10-15.

Most UK homes qualify for permitted development rights. Exceptions include listed buildings, conservation areas, and some flat-roof installations above a certain height.
