Generate your own electricity and slash your energy bills. Solar panels convert sunlight into free, clean energy for your home - even on cloudy days.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels convert sunlight directly into electricity. Installed on your roof, they capture energy from daylight - not just direct sunshine - and convert it into usable power for your home.
Any electricity you generate but don't use can be exported back to the grid, earning you money through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Combined with a battery storage system, you can maximise your savings by storing excess energy for use in the evening.
Typical savings on electricity bills with a 4kW system.
Generate your own power during daylight hours at no cost.
Long-term guarantee on panel performance and output.
Solar panels are a proven, low-maintenance technology that will generate clean electricity for decades.
Solar cells in the panels absorb photons from daylight and convert them to DC electricity.
An inverter converts the DC electricity into AC power your home appliances can use.
Use the electricity directly in your home, reducing what you buy from the grid.
Surplus electricity is exported to the grid (earning you money) or stored in a battery.
Most homes can benefit from solar panels. Here's what makes an ideal installation.
South-facing roofs are ideal, but east and west-facing roofs also work well. North-facing roofs can still be viable depending on pitch and shading.
Trees, chimneys, or neighbouring buildings that cast shadows on your roof will reduce output. Some shading can be managed with optimisers.
You'll need approximately 20m² of roof space for a typical 4kW system (10 panels). Your roof should be in good condition with no repairs needed soon.

Installing solar panels is one of the best investments you can make in your home.
Generate free electricity during the day and cut your reliance on expensive grid power.
Get paid for surplus electricity you export to the grid via the Smart Export Guarantee.
Homes with solar panels typically sell for more than comparable properties without.
Solar is 100% clean energy. A typical system saves around 1 tonne of CO2 per year.
A typical 4kW solar PV system costs between £5,000 and £8,000 installed. Larger systems cost more but generate more electricity. We provide detailed quotes after surveying your property, and funding may be available through schemes like ECO4 or the Warm Homes Plan.
Yes! Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunlight. While output is higher on sunny days, they still produce significant power on cloudy days - typically around 10-25% of their rated capacity. The UK has plenty of daylight for effective solar generation.
Modern solar panels are incredibly durable and typically come with a 25-year performance warranty. Most panels continue generating electricity well beyond this - many systems installed 30+ years ago are still working. Inverters may need replacing after 10-15 years.
Most domestic solar panel installations are considered 'permitted development' and don't require planning permission. Exceptions include listed buildings, conservation areas, or if panels would protrude more than 200mm from the roof. We'll advise you during the survey.
A battery storage system allows you to store excess solar energy for use in the evening when panels aren't generating. This maximises self-consumption and savings. We offer battery storage solutions that can be installed with solar panels or added later.
