Frequently asked questions

Is there a government grant for solar panels in your area?

There is currently no universal government grant for private solar panel installations in the UK. Some households may qualify for funded solar panels through the Warm Homes Plan if they receive a qualifying benefit and have a poor EPC rating. This service is a private market quote service with no grant attached. If you think you may qualify for the Warm Homes Plan, please check that scheme separately.

How much do solar panels cost in your area?

A typical 3 to 4 kWp solar panel system for a UK home costs between £6,000 and £10,000 installed, depending on roof size, panel specification, and installer. Prices vary by region and installer. Requesting multiple quotes from MCS-accredited installers in your area gives you the most accurate figure for your property.

How much can solar panels save on energy bills?

Solar savings depend on the system size, your household's electricity consumption, and how much of the generated electricity you use directly. A typical 4 kWp system can generate 3,000 to 4,000 kWh per year. At current electricity prices, this could save £600 to £800 per year for a household that uses most of the generation during the day.

How long do solar panels take to pay back?

The typical payback period for a privately-funded solar installation is six to twelve years depending on system cost, electricity tariff, and household usage. Adding battery storage can improve self-consumption and shorten payback. All MCS-accredited installers should provide a projected payback calculation in their written quote.

Are the installers MCS accredited?

Yes. We connect you only with MCS-accredited installers. MCS certification is required for solar panel installers to issue the documentation needed to register a system and access Smart Export Guarantee payments.

Is this service free?

Yes. Requesting quotes through this service is free. You are under no obligation to proceed with any quote you receive. The service is funded by commissions paid by installers for introduced leads.
