Transparent, honest pricing for professionally installed solar panel installations. All prices shown include 0% VAT, full installation, DNO application and full system certification.
All prices shown at 0% VAT as solar PV qualifies for zero VAT under current HMRC rules. Prices shown are guide ranges — your exact price depends on the factors listed below. We provide a fixed quote after your survey.
Typically 8–10 panels. Suitable for 1–3 bedroom homes with lower energy usage. Generates approximately 3,200–3,600 kWh/year.
Typically 12–14 panels. Ideal for 3–4 bedroom homes with average to high energy usage. Generates approximately 4,800–5,400 kWh/year.
16+ panels. Suited to large homes, high-energy users and commercial properties. Generates 6,400 kWh+ per year depending on system size.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Solar panels | Tier 1 monocrystalline panels, minimum 400W per panel, 25-year performance warranty |
| Inverter | String inverter or microinverters depending on roof layout and shading. 10–12 year warranty |
| Mounting system | Aluminium rail system with SS fixings. Designed for your specific roof type and tile profile |
| DC and AC cabling | Solar DC cable run from roof to inverter; AC connection to consumer unit, all properly clipped and labelled |
| Generation meter | HMRC-approved generation meter for SEG export tariff registration |
| DNO application | G98 (up to 3.68kW export) or G99 (larger systems) submitted on your behalf |
| Installation certification | Full installation certificate issued on completion — required for SEG export payments |
| Scaffolding | Included where required for safe access. Complex scaffold structures may be quoted separately |
| Monitoring app | Inverter monitoring app set up on your phone. View live and historical generation data |
| Workmanship guarantee | Our workmanship is guaranteed — if anything is not right after installation, we come back and fix it |
Concrete interlocking tiles are the simplest and lowest-cost option. Slate, clay, flat and non-standard roof types require additional fixings or mounting systems and will increase installation cost.
Single-storey properties with easy access may require minimal scaffold. Two or three-storey properties, steep pitches or complex roof shapes increase access requirements and cost.
The cable run from your roof to the inverter location (typically a ground-floor utility room, garage or dedicated wall near the consumer unit) affects installation time and materials. Longer cable routes and complex routing increase cost. Note: under BS 7671 Amendment 3, inverters for new installations should not be located in loft spaces.
G98 applications (standard domestic) are included in all installations. Systems requiring G99 formal approval involve additional DNO liaison and approval time — typically 6–12 weeks.
Adding battery storage at the same time as solar is the most cost-effective approach. A combined solar and battery installation shares scaffolding and reduces overall installation time.
Larger systems (more panels, higher inverter capacity) cost more in materials. However, cost-per-kWp typically decreases with larger systems — a 6kW system offers better value per kW than a 4kW.
Yes. Since April 2022, solar PV panels and associated equipment installed as part of a solar system have been zero-rated for VAT in England. This applies to both residential and commercial installations and includes battery storage installed at the same time as solar. We apply 0% VAT automatically on all qualifying installations — you do not need to apply or provide any documentation.
Yes. Scaffolding is included in our installation prices where it is required for safe access. The only exception is where a property has an unusually complex scaffolding requirement (e.g. a very tall building or access restrictions), in which case additional scaffold costs will be quoted separately and agreed before work begins. We will never charge for scaffold after the fact.
Most domestic solar installations take one to two days from start to finish. A 4kW system on a straightforward roof with easy access is often completed in a single day. Larger systems, complex cable routes or difficult roof profiles may require two days. The DNO application process (G98 or G99) is handled by us and runs in parallel — it does not delay the installation itself.
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is a government-backed scheme where energy suppliers pay you for surplus solar electricity you export to the grid. Rates vary by supplier — typically between 3p and 15p per kWh exported. To qualify, your installation must be certified through an approved government scheme. We handle all certification on your behalf and can advise on registering with an SEG supplier after completion.
We are not a finance provider, but many customers fund solar installations through personal loans, green mortgages or specialist solar finance products. We can provide a detailed quote and generation estimate to support a finance application. Contact us for details and we can point you towards relevant lenders.
During the free survey we assess your roof space, orientation, shading, energy consumption and export ambitions to recommend the right system size. We do not upsell larger systems for the sake of it — if a 4kW system meets your needs, we say so. If your electricity usage and roof space justify a 6kW or larger system, we will explain why and show you the financial projections for each option.
