Why Go Solar
We’ve touched on this but let’s dig a little deeper into the benefits:
Cost savings
Generating your own electricity reduces your reliance on the grid and protects you from rising energy prices. Solar panels have no moving parts so maintenance costs are minimal here too, meaning you can spend less on bills. On top of this, if you generate more power than you need you can sell it back to the grid under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
Stability
A significant benefit of solar panels is that they give you fixed or at least very predictable energy costs for decades to come. You’re protected from volatile grid prices and this stability helps with long-term financial planning. A solar system can also act as a long-term asset, and in the case of grid instability or energy crises you can rely on your own sustainable supply. Solar power can also provide backup power when paired with battery storage.
Strong ROI
While installing solar panels requires an investment, the returns you can expect are compelling, with average payback within 5-15 years. The strong ROI of solar panels is driven by several key factors: the decreasing cost of solar technology, the ability to lock in a fixed energy price for 25 years, and the minimal maintenance required after installation. These advantages are amplified by the ongoing rise in National Grid electricity prices, making solar energy up to 70-80% cheaper than buying power from the grid.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the cost of solar panels in the UK?
Typical UK installation costs fall between £500 and £1,500 per kilowatt installed, so most domestic solar systems (e.g. 3–5 kW) will cost between £4,000 and £8,000, excluding add-ons like batteries. The final price depends on factors such as panel type, roof layout, and optional features. We perform a detailed site survey to provide a fully tailored and transparent quote specific to your home and energy goals.
Are solar panels worth it?
Solar panels can deliver huge energy savings and support environmental responsibility. Solar power is around 70-80% cheaper than grid-supplied electricity, but of course it’s important to discuss suitability and costs before making a decision.
Can I get paid for solar-generated electricity?
Yes, under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can get paid for the excess electricity your solar panels generate and export to the grid. We’d be happy to discuss how this works with you.
What’s the ROI of solar panels?
Solar panels typically pay back their initial investment within 8-12 years, with most installations lasting 20-25+ years, meaning you get 15+ years of pure profit. For example, a 3.5kW system costing £7,000 could provide approximately £18,096 in total savings over 20 years with annual savings of around £600.
