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.
