Why Solar
What Affects the Cost of Solar Panels?
The biggest factor is system size — measured in kilowatts peak (kWp). A larger system costs more but generates more electricity. Roof complexity matters too: scaffolding, awkward pitches and non-standard tiles all add labour.
Beyond that, panel quality and brand, inverter type, and whether you add battery storage all move the price. Bird protection, roof repairs and electrical upgrades can add extra, which is why itemised quotes are so useful when comparing.

Price Guide
Typical UK Solar Panel Prices
As a broad guide, a small domestic system typically starts from around £5,000, with most family-home installations landing somewhere between £6,000 and £10,000. Adding battery storage commonly adds a further £2,000–£5,000 depending on capacity.
Solar currently benefits from 0% VAT in the UK. Prices vary significantly between installers for the same specification, so getting three or more quotes is the single easiest way to avoid overpaying.
