How long does solar panel installation take?

Most residential solar installations are completed in one to two days depending on system size. The exact timeline is confirmed at the in-person roof survey.

Is my roof suitable for solar panels?

Most roofs in Bath and Somerset are suitable. South, east and west-facing roofs all work well. Every property is assessed in person before anything is recommended.

Can I install solar panels in a Bath conservation area or on a listed building?

Often, yes. Conservation areas add conditions rather than a ban — panels on rear and side roof slopes usually fall under permitted development. Listed buildings require Listed Building Consent from B&NES Council, and many of Bath's Georgian terraces have M-shaped roofs with concealed central valleys where panels are invisible from the street. We check what applies to your exact address as part of our free in-person survey.

Self-consumption: scales with usage vs. system size — roughly 20–65% without a battery, 40–85% with one

Value of electricity you use yourself: £0.26/kWh (national average price cap rate)

Value of electricity exported: £0.12/kWh (illustrative — check your own supplier's rate)

Installed price: calculated for your system size and battery choice, shown as a typical range \u2014 confirmed exactly at your free survey

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does a solar system cost?

A typical 4kWp residential system costs between £6,000–£8,000 installed. Battery storage adds £3,000–£5,000. All installations are 0% VAT. We provide fixed pricing — no hidden extras.

How long does installation take?

Most residential solar installations are completed in one to two days depending on system size. We'll confirm the exact timeline when we survey your property.

What is the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)?

SEG pays you for surplus electricity you export back to the grid. With our MCS-certified installations you're eligible to earn £150–£500 a year depending on your system and energy supplier.

Is my roof suitable for solar?

Most roofs in Bath and Somerset are suitable. South, east and west-facing roofs all work well. We visit every property in person to assess your roof before recommending anything.

Do solar panels work on cloudy days?

Yes — solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sunshine. UK homes typically generate 70–80% of their potential output even on overcast days.

Can I install solar in a conservation area or on a listed building?

Often, yes. Conservation areas add conditions rather than a ban — rear and side slopes usually fall under permitted development. Listed buildings need Listed Building Consent, and Bath's M-shaped Georgian roofs often have concealed valleys perfect for hidden panels. See our guides on conservation areas and listed buildings.

Can I get finance or spread the cost?

We don't currently offer finance ourselves — most of our customers self-fund or use their own borrowing, and some banks offer green home improvement loans worth asking about. We keep our pricing fixed and transparent so you know exactly what you're funding before you commit.
