Solar Panel Questions, Answered

How much do solar panels save UK homeowners? +
A typical 4kW solar panel system in the UK saves between £700-£1,100 per year depending on your location, roof orientation, and electricity usage. With battery storage, savings increase as more solar energy is used directly rather than exported.
How many solar panels do I need? +
Most UK homes need between 8-14 solar panels depending on electricity usage. A small home (2-bed) might need 6-8 panels, while a larger home (4-5 bed) could need 12-16 panels. Our calculator recommends the right system size based on your bill.
Is my roof suitable for solar panels? +
South-facing roofs are ideal, but east and west-facing roofs also work well (generating around 80-85% of a south-facing system). North-facing roofs are not recommended. Your roof should also be free from heavy shading by trees or buildings.
How much do solar panels cost in the UK? +
According to the Energy Saving Trust, an average home solar panel system (3.5kWp) costs around £6,100 to install. Larger systems with battery storage typically cost £7,000-£13,000. Solar panels are VAT-free for UK residential installations until 2027.
Can I get a grant for solar panels? +
Yes — the Warm Homes Local Grant and ECO4 scheme can fully fund solar panels for eligible low-income households. The 0% VAT on residential solar also saves everyone £1,000-£2,000. Read our full guide to solar panel grants in 2026 or use our eligibility checker to find out if you qualify.
Are solar panels worth it in the UK in 2026? +
Yes — for most homeowners with a south, east, or west-facing roof, solar panels pay for themselves within 6-11 years and continue saving money for 25+ years after that. With 0% VAT, rising electricity prices (up 100%+ since 2021), and Smart Export Guarantee payments, the financial case is stronger than ever. Use our free calculator to see the numbers for your specific home.
How accurate is this solar calculator? +
Our calculator uses real solar radiation data for your specific postcode, combined with your electricity bill to estimate usage. It provides a good ballpark estimate, but actual savings depend on your specific roof, shading, and the system installed. For an accurate quote, we recommend getting a survey from an MCS-certified installer.
