Solar Power: Your Energy, Your Independence!

There can be considerable differences between the cost of different solar panels, but as with many household investments, it’s worth remembering that when it comes to quality, efficiency and operation, you get what you pay for with solar panels. Most people find that striking the best combination of solar panel power output and roof coverage is the most cost effective way of investing in solar power.

How much do solar panels cost? A lot depends on the quality of materials used and the power output rating of the panels. Brands who use higher quality or more complex materials in their panels, or who offer higher capacity solar panels, are able to command a higher price per panel. But while they might seem pricey, they’re likely to perform better in the longer term. Cheap solar panels, meanwhile, might seem like a bargain but might not deliver in the ways you expect.

Adopting solar panels in the UK can lead to significant savings on electricity bills. The extent of these savings varies based on factors such as the size of the solar panel system, energy consumption patterns, and the amount of sunlight your location receives. Most households can expect to reduce their annual energy costs by a substantial amount. For your specific circumstances, Project Solar can provide an estimate of costs saved during a home visit.

The size of your solar panel system depends on your energy usage, roof space, and specific needs. For homes, systems typically range from 3kW to 8kW, while businesses may require larger setups. Our experts will assess your property and recommend the best system to maximise savings and efficiency for your energy goals.

Most solar panel and battery installations from Project Solar are completed within one day, although there can be some exceptions due to adverse weather conditions, more difficult roofs or other technical complexities.

Solar panels require very little maintenance during their lifespan. Cleaning your panels and ensuring they are not covered can help you get the most out of your panels. Scheduling regular checks, biannually can help spot any damage sustained by your solar panels.

Yes, in the UK, solar panel installations benefit from VAT-free pricing for most homeowners, making solar more affordable. Additionally, you can earn money through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which pays you for the excess energy your system exports to the grid. Our team can guide you on how these incentives apply to your installation.
