The benefits of installing solar panels
Though solar panels can be expensive to install, they come with a large range of benefits. For example, solar panels:
- Are a renewable, green energy that helps you reduce your carbon footprint
- Are low maintenance, lasting upwards of 25 years without losing efficiency if looked after properly
- Can help you lower your energy bills and save money
- Can raise the value of your property and make it more desirable to potential buyers
- Are easy to scale up if you want to upgrade your system size
- Offer the potential to sell solar energy back to the National grid through an SEG tariff
Not sure whether solar panels are the right fit for you? Speak to a local specialist to get some advice and a free quote.

What solar panel grants and loans am I eligible for?
If you have an electricity metre (including prepayment metres) then you should be eligible for a Green Deal Finance Plan. This allows you to spread the cost of your solar panel installations across a 10-25 year period. To apply, you’ll first need to get your property assessed. You can find an assessor here. The initial assessment costs around £100 – £200 and comes with a formal report offering recommendations on energy saving improvements. Once you have the report you’ll be able to apply for a Green Deal Finance Plan.
Until the 31st of March, 2027, the government is helping homeowners improve their energy efficiency by allowing households to pay 0% VAT on the installation of all energy-saving materials. According to the UK, this could save a typical family around £1,000 in installation fees, as well as an additional £300 a year on energy bills.
Lastly, the Government’s Energy Company Obligation scheme (ECO4) is designed to help low-income households save energy. With ECO4, you can apply to have fully-funded or discounted solar panels installed in your home. You can check your eligibility here.

Factors to consider before you hire a solar panel installer
It’s really important that you choose a reliable solar panel specialist to carry out work on your home. Failing to do this can result in stress and costly repairs.
Before you hire, you should do your research to ensure that your solar panel installers:
- Are an experienced company with a strong history of high quality projects
- Have all the licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
- Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
- Are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by
- Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other local solar panel companies
A local tradesperson is more likely to respond quickly, as they’ll be right around the corner and ready to help you install your new, green energy solution.

How much do solar panels cost to install?
How much you end up spending on your solar panels depends on a range of factors, including:
- The size of the system
- Whether you choose solar panels or solar tiles
- Whether you opt for building-integrated panels or choose panels that sit on top of your roof
- Installation difficulties, such as how hard it is to access your roof
- Where you live in the UK
The average domestic solar PV system (3.5kWp) costs between £5,000 and £8,000.

Other solar panel installation FAQ's
What planning permission do you need to install solar panels?
Installing a solar panel system doesn’t usually require planning permission, though there are some exceptions to the rule, such as if you live in a listed building. If you’re not sure whether you’ll need planning permission, contact your local planning authority.
An accredited solar energy installer, such as an MCS accredited and certified installer, will be able to advise you on whether you’ll need to apply for permission.
What should I ask a solar panel installer before hiring them?
Before booking an installation, you should ask for a transparent price quote, an estimated project timeline, and whether they use licensed, insured subcontractors for any part of the build. It is also vital to verify that they hold comprehensive public liability insurance to protect your property against accidental damage during the roof work. Finally, check their years of trade experience and read customer reviews on Rated People to ensure they have a proven track record of installing your chosen solar panel model safely.
