FAQ

Frequently asked

How much do solar panels cost in the South East?

A typical 4 kW residential system costs £6,500-£8,500 fully installed and MCS-certified. A 6 kW solar + 10 kWh battery package runs £12,500-£15,500.

How quickly can I get installed?

From signed quote to commissioning is typically 4-8 weeks. We can usually have a survey booked within 1-2 weeks of your enquiry.

Are your installers MCS-accredited?

Yes — every installer in our network is MCS-accredited and a member of a recognised consumer code (RECC or HIES). That is essential for the Smart Export Guarantee and protects your statutory rights.

Do you cover my area?

We cover Kent, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight — every postcode in the South East of England.

Will solar work on my roof?

Almost certainly yes. Any unshaded roof facing east through south to west works. We confirm with a free survey before quoting.

How much will I actually save each year?

A 4 kWp solar-only system in the South East typically saves £600-£800 a year. Add a 10 kWh battery and average savings climb to £1,100-£1,500, or higher on time-of-use tariffs like Octopus Flux. Your exact figure depends on how much of your usage happens at home during the day and your import tariff.

How long do solar panels last?

Modern Tier-1 solar panels carry 25-30 year performance warranties and typically produce useful power for 30-40 years. Inverters last 10-15 years and are usually replaced once during the panels' lifetime. Batteries carry 10-12 year warranties, with 60-70% capacity retention guaranteed at end of warranty.

Do I need a battery, or just panels?

It depends on when you use electricity. If you're mostly at home during the day, panels alone give a strong payback. If your usage is evening-heavy, a battery lifts self-consumption from 35% to 75-85% and typically doubles your annual saving — at the cost of an extra 2-3 years on payback. We model both options in every quote.

What's the Smart Export Guarantee and how much will I get?

The SEG is the Ofgem-mandated scheme where energy suppliers pay you for surplus electricity you export to the grid. Current rates range from 4.1p/kWh (British Gas) to 27p/kWh peak (Octopus Flux). Most South East homes on Octopus Outgoing Fixed earn £150-£350 a year from export alone.

Will scaffolding damage my driveway or garden?

No. Our scaffolders use plywood baseboards on soft ground and adjustable feet on driveways. Scaffolding is up for 3-5 days on a typical install and taken down as soon as the roof work completes. Any damage is covered by our public liability insurance, though incidents are rare.

Can I get 0% finance?

Yes — several of our network installers offer FCA-regulated 0% APR finance over 24-60 months, subject to status. Monthly repayments are typically designed to sit below your projected monthly bill saving, so the system is cashflow-positive from month one.

What happens if I move house?

Your MCS certificate and warranties transfer to the new owner with no fee. Independent research from Solar Energy UK, Rightmove and the Halifax suggests a professionally installed solar-and-battery system adds 1.8-2.0% to a UK home's resale value — typically £7,000-£12,000 on South East house prices.
