Solar PhotoVoltaic (PV) Panels
Why Choose Solar PV?
💷 Cut Your Energy Bills
Every unit of electricity your system generates is power you don’t have to buy from your supplier. That means immediate savings on your electricity bills and long-term protection against rising energy prices. The more you use during the day, the more you save.
💰 Get Paid for What You Don’t Use (SEG)
Not home during the day? No problem. Any surplus energy your system generates is automatically exported back to the grid. Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), your energy supplier pays you for that exported electricity — turning your roof into a small power station.
📈 Improve Your Property’s EPC Rating
Installing solar PV can significantly boost your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) score. A typical 2.5kWp system can increase a property’s rating by around 11 points — often enough to move from Band D to Band B. A higher EPC rating makes your home more attractive to buyers and future-proofs it against tightening energy regulations.
🔥 Lower Your Gas or Oil Bills with Solar Hot Water
With a device such as a Solar IBOOST, your surplus solar energy can be diverted to heat your hot water instead of being exported to the grid. This reduces reliance on gas or oil and maximises the value of every unit of electricity your system produces.
🚗 Charge Your Electric Vehicle for Less
If you own an EV, solar PV is the perfect partner. Modern EV chargers can detect when your system is generating surplus electricity and automatically use it to charge your vehicle — allowing you to drive on sunshine and dramatically reduce charging costs.
🛠 Virtually Maintenance Free
Solar panels have no moving parts and are designed to last 25 years or more. Once installed, they simply get on with the job — quietly generating clean electricity with minimal maintenance and no ongoing servicing costs.
🌍 Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Beyond the financial benefits, solar PV allows you to generate clean, renewable electricity and reduce your reliance on fossil fuels. It’s a practical, tangible way to cut your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Investment Guide
The cost of a solar PV system depends on the size of the installation, the equipment selected, and any site-specific requirements. However, as a guide, a typical domestic solar PV system with battery storage starts from around £6,000.
A system of this size can generate approximately 3,000–4,000 kWh per year, making a substantial reduction to your annual electricity bill and helping protect you from future energy price rises.
Why Add Battery Storage?
While battery storage isn’t essential in every case, for most homes it is a true game changer.
Without a battery, unused daytime generation is exported to the grid. With a battery, you capture that surplus energy and store it for when you actually need it — in the evening, overnight, or during peak-rate periods. This dramatically increases your self-consumption, maximises your savings, and gives you far greater control over your energy use.
Already Have Solar?
If you already have solar PV installed, adding battery storage can significantly enhance your system’s performance and savings. There are several upgrade options available depending on your existing setup, and we would be delighted to talk you through the most cost-effective solution for your property.

Return on Investment
One of the most common questions we’re asked is: “How long will it take to pay for itself?”
While every property is different, most domestic solar PV systems deliver a payback period of 6–10 years, depending on energy usage, system size, battery storage, and electricity prices.
With a typical system generating 3,000–4,000 kWh per year, the savings can be significant. When you combine:
-
Reduced electricity purchases
-
Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments
-
Increased self-consumption through battery storage
-
Protection against rising energy prices
…the financial case becomes very compelling.
Rising Energy Costs = Faster Payback
The higher electricity prices rise, the more valuable your self-generated energy becomes. Solar PV effectively allows you to lock in a portion of your electricity at today’s installation cost — shielding you from future price volatility.
Long-Term Value
Solar panels are designed to last 25+ years and often continue generating well beyond that. Once your system has paid for itself, the electricity it produces is effectively free — delivering many years of ongoing savings.
Add to that the potential uplift in property value and improved EPC rating, and solar becomes not just an expense, but a smart long-term investment.
