Explore business solarQuestions worth asking before you buy.
Do solar panels work in the UK?
Yes. Solar PV produces electricity from daylight, not heat. Output varies by season, location, roof orientation, shading and system design.
How much do solar panels cost?
There is no single reliable package price for every home. System size, roof access, scaffolding, electrical work, inverter choice and battery storage can all change the quotation.
Can I get paid for exported electricity?
Eligible generators in Great Britain can receive export payments through the Smart Export Guarantee and other supplier export tariffs, subject to provider terms.
Should I add a battery?
A battery can increase self-consumption and may support time-of-use tariff strategies, but it adds cost and should be sized around how the property actually uses electricity.
