Frequently Asked Questions
- How much do solar panels cost in the UK?
- A typical 4kWp solar system costs £6,000–£12,000 including installation. Prices vary by roof type, location and installer. Most households see payback in 7-12 years.
- Is my roof suitable for solar panels?
- South-facing roofs at 30-35 degree pitch are optimal. East/west facing can still be viable. You need at least 10m² of unshaded roof space. A site survey will confirm suitability.
- Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
- Usually not — solar panels on homes are permitted development unless you live in a listed building or conservation area. Commercial properties may need planning.
- What is MCS certification?
- MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) is the industry quality standard for renewable energy installers. Only MCS-certified installers can install panels that qualify for the Smart Export Guarantee.
- How long do solar panels last?
- Most solar panels are guaranteed for 25 years and last 30+ years. Inverters typically need replacing after 10-15 years (£500-£1,500).
