0% VAT on all domestic solar installations
Since April 2022, the UK government has removed VAT on domestic solar panel installations. This applies to panels, inverters, batteries, and all labour. The prices below reflect this 0% VAT rate.
2026 Pricing
Solar Panel System Prices
Fully installed prices including panels, hybrid inverter, mounting, scaffolding, electrical work, DNO notification, and MCS certification.
* Savings based on current electricity rates of approximately 24p/kWh with typical self-consumption rates of 40–50%. Actual savings depend on usage patterns, roof orientation, and shading. All prices include 0% VAT.
What Affects the Cost?
Several factors influence the final price of your solar panel installation. Understanding these helps you make an informed decision about system specification and budget.
System Size
Larger systems cost more but generate more electricity, often achieving a better cost-per-kWh. The right size depends on your electricity usage and available roof space.
Panel Quality
Premium monocrystalline panels with higher efficiency ratings cost more upfront but generate more per square metre — important where roof space is limited.
Roof Type & Access
Standard pitched roofs are the most straightforward. Flat roofs need tilt frames, slate roofs require specialist fixings, and difficult access may affect scaffolding costs.
Inverter Type
Standard string inverters are most affordable. Micro-inverters suit shaded roofs. Hybrid inverters add battery-readiness and are our standard recommendation.
Battery Storage
Adding a battery at the same time as solar increases the total cost but also increases savings. Battery prices have dropped significantly over the past three years.
Electrical Work
Most installations require minimal electrical upgrades. Older properties may need a consumer unit upgrade, which is included in your quote if required.
Add Battery Storage
Pairing solar panels with battery storage increases your self-consumption from around 40% to over 80%, dramatically improving your annual savings and shortening the effective payback period.

Most solar panel systems in Yorkshire pay for themselves within 8 to 12 years, depending on system size, electricity usage patterns, and the Smart Export Guarantee rate you receive. At current electricity prices of around 24p/kWh, a 4kW system typically breaks even in 9–11 years. After payback, you enjoy free electricity for the remaining 14–17 years of the panel warranty.
Yes. We install hybrid inverters as standard, which means your system is battery-ready from day one. You can install solar panels now and add a battery storage system at any point in the future without replacing your inverter.
No. Our quotes are fully inclusive — covering panels, inverter, mounting hardware, scaffolding, all electrical work, DNO notification, MCS certification, and a comprehensive handover. The price we quote is the price you pay.
