Solar panel installation is becoming increasingly popular in the UK as homeowners and businesses look to reduce energy costs and carbon footprints. Here are some of the most common questions and answers about solar panel installation in the UK:
Do I need planning permission to install solar panels in the UK?
In most cases, solar panels are considered “permitted development” and do not require planning permission. However, there are exceptions, especially in conservation areas or on listed buildings, where you may need to apply for permission.
How much do solar panels cost in the UK?
The cost of solar panel installation can vary widely depending on the size of the system and the type of panels. On average, a typical residential solar system (3-4 kWp) can cost between £4,000 and £8,000.
Are there any government grants or incentives for installing solar panels in the UK?
While the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme has ended, the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme obliges certain electricity suppliers to pay for the electricity exported back to the grid by small-scale solar generators. It’s worth checking for any local grants or incentives that may be available.
How long does it take to install solar panels?
Most home solar installations can be completed in one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the system.
How much can I save on my energy bills by installing solar panels?
Savings can vary based on your electricity usage, the size of your solar system, and when you use your electricity. Typically, you can expect to save up to £400 per year on your electricity bills.
Can solar panels generate electricity on cloudy days?
Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days, although the efficiency is reduced compared to sunny days.
Do solar panels work in the winter?
Yes, solar panels work during winter, but their output is lower than during the summer months due to shorter daylight hours and generally cloudier weather.
What is the lifespan of solar panels?
Most solar panels are guaranteed to last 25 years, but they can often continue to produce electricity at a reduced efficiency beyond that time.
Do I need to maintain my solar panels?
Solar panels require very little maintenance. It’s generally recommended to keep them clean and check for any debris or obstructions that might block sunlight.
Can I install solar panels myself?
It is technically possible, but not recommended. Professional installation ensures that the system is safe, efficient, and compliant with UK electrical regulations. It also ensures that you qualify for any available incentives or guarantees.

Tom and his team were absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend highly enough. Super hard workers, friendly, on time, great communication, and delivered a perfect result. The difference between the original flat roof and the quality of the one they installed is worlds apart! I’m so pleased with the end finish. Thank you!

I am very happy with the service I got. the guys worked very quickly and cleanly – removed all waste as soon as it came off the roof. they made good of the wooden structure that was badly designed and fitted originally. then the new membrane was fitted in next to no time. not cheap but good value. the membrane is expensive but is guaranteed for 20 years! i recommend Look Sharp.
