How much do Solar Panels cost?

The cost of installing solar panels can vary depending on the number of panels, system type, and brand, but good-quality solar panel systems can start from as little as £4,000. Here’s a breakdown of typical system costs and what you can expect:

Example Solar Panel Systems:

**8 Panel System:** - Mitigates much of the energy demand for a 3-4 person home in daylight hours. - Costs approximately £5,500 for a fully installed system with SolarEdge optimisation (£4,500 for a string system*). - Requires about 15 sq. metres of roof space. - Ground-mounted options are available if roof space is limited.

**14 Panel System:** - Provides more power for larger households or higher energy demands. - Costs around £8,000 for an optimised system (£6,750 for a string system*). - Requires approximately 25 sq. metres of roof space.

**What About VAT?** For domestic customers, there is no VAT applied to solar panel installations, making them even more cost-effective.

**Optimised vs. String Systems:** Optimised Systems: Use SolarEdge technology to maximize efficiency, especially in cases of shading or uneven sunlight distribution. String Systems: A more affordable option, typically saving around £1,000 compared to optimised systems, but may not perform as efficiently under certain conditions.
