Why install solar now?

Three reasons not to wait any longer

The case for going solar has never been stronger. Rising bills, a closing tax window, and a government scheme that pays you — all three are working in your favour right now.

Energy bills keep rising

Electricity prices are more than double what they were in 2020. Generating your own power is the single most effective way to protect yourself from future increases.

0% VAT — ends March 2027

Domestic solar installations currently carry zero VAT, saving you hundreds of pounds upfront. This window closes in March 2027 and is not guaranteed to be extended.

Get paid for surplus energy

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) means your energy supplier pays you for electricity you export to the grid — turning your roof into a micro power station.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Costs

How much do solar panels cost?

A typical 4 kW system (right for a 3-bed home) starts from £5,999. Battery storage adds £2,500–£5,000. All domestic installations currently attract 0% VAT until March 2027. We provide fully itemised, no-surprise quotes.

Savings

How much can I save each year?

Most East Sussex homes save £600–£900 per year on electricity bills, rising to £1,200+ with battery storage. Payback is typically 7–10 years, and panels last 25+ years — so the majority of their life is pure profit.

Suitability

Will my roof be suitable?

South-facing roofs are ideal, but east/west-facing roofs work well too (80–85% of optimal output). We assess shading, pitch, and structural condition during your free survey. We're experienced with period homes, bungalows, and coastal East Sussex properties.

Export earnings

What is the Smart Export Guarantee?

The SEG requires licensed energy suppliers to pay you for surplus solar electricity you export to the grid. Rates currently range from 4p to 15p per kWh. We'll help you pick the best tariff once your system is live.

Process

How long does installation take?

From free survey to installation is typically 2–3 weeks. The installation itself takes 1–2 days. We handle all the paperwork — DNO applications, MCS certificates, and SEG registration — so you don't have to.

Accreditation

Are you MCS certified?

Yes. MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) certification is a legal requirement to access SEG payments and government incentives. We are also RECC approved, giving you additional consumer protection.
