How Much Does a Solar Installation Cost?
Like all consumer items, prices for home solar panels vary depending on what you are buying.
With solar panel systems, the factors are the rated output of the system, how your particular set-up varies from standard, how groovy the solar panels look on your house and, very importantly, the brand of the solar panel.
This last one is important because it is the panel manufacturer that guarantees the thing will carry on working so if the manufacturer goes bust, you lose the guarantee.
Systems are sized in something called Kilowatt Peak (kWp) which is a measure of the output of a system in standard laboratory conditions (i.e. not your house) and the convention is to quote prices based on kWp.
Our guide price for a 2 kWp system is £6,900 and £9,500 for a 4kWp system (price is exclusive of VAT at 5%). Your site and personal requirements can affect this price considerably and things such as access, cable runs, availability of inverters and silicon on a global scale can affect price.
Both these guide prices are for a system using Sharp PV panels - the world's leading panel designer and manufacturer of solar PV panels.
Please note that these are guide prices and assume that there are no irregularities with your property.
