How much does solar cost for a UK home? ☀️

As a rough guide, a system without a battery may cost around £5,000, while a system with battery storage will typically cost between £7,000 and £12,000.

But bigger isn’t always better. The right system depends on your roof, energy usage and how you use your home.

“Great communication from the start of our experience to the end. Well co-ordinated by the office staff, electricians, loft insulator and the scaffolding team. Very professional. Steve and Alan were absolutely amazing, they took the care to ensure the installation was to an exceptional standard, taking the time to explain the app and how it works. We would
highly recommend.”

Ever wondered what actually happens on the day of a solar installation? ☀️

From scaffolding and delivery of your solar kit, to fitting the rails, panels, inverter and batteries - there’s a lot happening behind the scenes.

Our roofing and electrical teams work alongside each other to get everything installed safely, connected and commissioned. We also take photos before, during and after every install so there’s a clear record of the work carried out.

Then once everything is connected and tested, your system is switched on and ready to start generating power. ⚡

Can you have a battery without solar panels?

Yes you can - and it could be a good way to save money on your energy bills!

Ever wondered what actually happens to the solar energy your home isn’t using?

Solar panels generate DC power. Your inverter converts that power into AC to run your home - but when your panels are producing more than you need, that excess energy can be sent straight into your battery and stored for later.

Then, when your panels aren’t producing enough, the battery can discharge that stored energy back into the home.

In this video, we break down how solar panels, inverters and batteries work together - plus what happens if you want a battery without solar.

What is a DNO — and why does it matter when installing solar panels?

Your District Network Operator manages the electricity network in your area and provides approval for your solar system to export excess energy back to the grid.

For example, if your panels generate 5kW and your home only uses 1kW, the remaining 4kW can be exported - allowing you to get paid by your energy supplier.

The good news? We handle the DNO application and approval process for you.
