Solar Panel Costs
Understanding the cost of solar panels is one of the first steps for homeowners considering renewable energy. The price of a solar panel system can vary depending on the size of your property, the number of panels required, and whether additional components such as battery storage are included.
Typical Solar Panel Costs By Property Size
Below is a guide to typical solar panel costs for different property sizes. These figures provide a general indication of the investment required for a residential solar installation.
Actual costs may vary depending on the property, roof layout, and system design. Any installation of a 3.8kW or higher system will require a G99 application, and we will need to wait for the DNO’s acceptance before installation can take place.

Are Solar Panels Worth The Cost?
For many households, solar panels provide long-term savings on electricity bills while reducing reliance on energy from the grid. Because solar panels typically last 25 years or more, they can generate electricity for decades after installation. The exact savings depend on your household’s energy usage and how much of the electricity generated by your system is used within the home.
