Solar panels
Solar is the most quoted-for and least understood upgrade in UK homes. Generation is predictable; the value of that generation is not.
Where we stand
Payback is driven by self-consumption as well as roof size. A larger array on a house that is empty all day can earn less per pound than a smaller one, which is why we will size to occupancy rather than to available roof.
The questions that actually decide it
Check these before you commit
- Is anyone home during daylight hours?
- What shading affects the roof between 10am and 4pm?
- Is the quotation priced per kWp, and how does that compare?
- Is scaffolding, DNO application and a new consumer unit included?
