Solar & battery advice · Updated 5 September 2026
Explore solar for your home
Start with a system designed for your roof and electricity use. Compare written assumptions and the whole installed cost before deciding whether solar, storage or both fit your plans.
Read the solar decision guide →Four questions for a useful quote
- What roof area can be used, and what shading or repair work affects the design?
- How much generation is expected, how much could I use, and how much would be exported?
- What changes when I compare the system with and without a battery?
- What is included in the written price, commissioning, warranty and aftercare?
Think about the whole home
Future heat-pump or electric-car use may change your design brief. Ask how the proposal handles when electricity is generated and when your household needs it.
Keep solar and battery costs visible separately. National averages and annual totals do not establish your own savings.
