A British semi-detached house with solar panels, the sun rising behind it Line-art house on a white hill. As the sun rises, the six roof panels switch on one by one. A cat sits on the roof ridge and a bird on the chimney.

Is my roof right for solar?

  • Black solar panels on a south-facing slate roof beside a brick chimney, nothing shading them Ideal ~100%

    The ideal roof

    South, south-east or south-west facing, pitched 30–40°, nothing casting shade. Most semis and terraces have one.

  • A brick semi-detached house with a large oak tree shading part of its roof; the unshaded half is traced Still good ~90%

    Some shade is fine

    Aerial imagery shows us exactly how much sun each part of your roof gets, so the panels go where the light is.

  • A flat garage roof seen from an upstairs window, with panels mounted on tilted frames; the roof is traced Works ~85%

    Flat roofs work

    Panels sit on angled frames; the report allows for the extra kit.

  • A terraced street in evening light; one east-facing and one west-facing roof slope are traced Good ~80%

    Terraces split the day

    An east/west pair catches morning and evening sun. Slightly less per panel, still worth it — your report shows the number.

How much do solar panels cost?

A typical installed price for a UK home is a band, not a number — it depends on how many panels your roof takes and what's involved in fitting them. Your report gives the band for your roof.

System sizeTypical installed price
3 kWp (about 7 panels)£—
4.5 kWp (about 10)£—
6 kWp (about 14)£—
8 kWp (about 19)£—

Typical installed prices, recalibrated quarterly against MCS installation data. Not a quote — your matched installers price your exact system.

  • Two installers on scaffolding fitting panels to the roof of a brick end-terrace

    Access & scaffolding

    Scaffold is usually the biggest cost after the panels.

  • Panel count & roof faces

    More panels cost more but cost less each.

  • A home battery and inverter mounted on a painted garage wall

    Battery

    Adds around £3,000 for 5 kWh; your report shows the with/without saving.

  • Inverter & wiring

    Included in every quote; hybrid inverters cost a little more.

How solar pays you back

  1. 01

    You use your own power first

    Every kWh your panels make and you use is a kWh you don't buy at the price-cap rate.

  2. 02

    You're paid for what you export

    The Smart Export Guarantee means your supplier pays you for the electricity you send to the grid.

  3. 03

    0% VAT on the install

    Residential solar in Great Britain is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 (5% after that). Correct at September 2026.
