How solar works for your home

  1. 01

    Panels capture daylight

    Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, so they work all year round and produce the most on bright days.

  2. 02

    An inverter converts it

    Your inverter turns the panels’ output into the electricity your home uses.

  3. 03

    Your home uses it first

    Appliances run on your own solar power before anything is drawn from the grid.

  4. 04

    Store or export the rest

    Spare electricity can charge a battery or be exported to the grid for payment.

Signs it’s a good fit

  • A roof facing south, east or west
  • Little shade from trees or buildings
  • A roof in good condition
  • You use electricity in the day, or plan a battery

What affects your quote

  • Number and type of panels
  • Your choice of inverter
  • Scaffolding and roof access
  • Adding a battery now or later
  • Extras such as bird protection and monitoring

Two quotes from the best matches we can find make it easy to compare like for like.

Solar panels: your questions answered

Still unsure? Our guides and system size tool can help.

Do solar panels work in the UK?

Yes. They generate electricity from daylight rather than heat, so they work year-round and produce the most in spring and summer.

Do I need planning permission?

Most rooftop solar on houses in England is permitted development, so no application is needed. There are exceptions, such as listed buildings and some conservation areas, and the rules differ slightly elsewhere in the UK. Your installer will check.

How long does installation take?

Most home installations are completed in one to two days once scaffolding is up.

Can I add a battery later?

Yes. Batteries can be added to an existing solar system, and standalone battery installations currently qualify for 0% VAT too.
