Are solar panels worth it for your home?

Separate generation from savings

A generation estimate tells you how much electricity the system may produce. It does not tell you how much you will use at home. We keep direct use, storage and export separate when discussing the figures.

A simple calculation

Illustrative arithmetic: using 1,000 kWh of solar electricity instead of buying it at an assumed 25p per kWh avoids £250 of import charges. Those are example inputs, not a current tariff or a forecast for your home. Export income, losses, maintenance and installation cost still need accounting for.

Ask what changes the result

Roof direction and shading matter. So do your working hours and future electricity use. We would rather check those details than promise a fixed percentage off your bill.

Before you decide

Ask us for the proposed equipment, the assumptions behind the estimate and the complete installation scope. Compare the costs against the expected benefit over a period that makes sense for your plans.
