There are a number of factors that make up the cost of a solar installation.

From the more obvious - the number and quality of the domestic solar panels, the type and quality of the inverter.

To the less obvious - how complex/how much scaffolding would be needed? Do the roof tiles need added protection from potential damage? Is there a free space in the consumer unit? Will a new small dedicated circuit board have to be installed? How far/complex is the cable route from the panels to the inverter to the consumer unit and meter?

To the type of roof covering - slate roofs tend to be more expensive that tiles.

Whether a battery is added/how many batteries. Our free design will give you options with/without a solar battery so you can see the difference it would make and decide if a solar battery is worth it.

 

Yes. 

You will pay for electricity anyway, why not generate the energy yourself instead? Many of our customers bills are now negative.

You'll be making a financial return, tax-free, which will exceed all comparable alternatives such as an annuity or fixed-term savings account. It will increase the value of your home - now proven. You'll protect against further energy price increases.

And if that's not enough, you'll also offset a significant amount of your carbon emissions - playing a small part in tackling the climate crisis.

It depends! To obtain MCS certification costs approximately £14,000 and approximately £2000 a year with a yearly audit. An MCS certified renewable energy installer costs a bit more than a non MCS certified solar PV installer. You can use one of our calulators to get a free cost estimate - no personal details required.
