Depending on the size of your roof and your energy usage, your quote will differ. However, we can provide a typical size system of 6 solar panels for £2,600. This is based on a usage of around 2,071 kW. The standard usage for a 2-bed home in the UK.
On mains supply, the cost of running your 2-bed home is around £353.01 a year, or around £35 a month. You’ll need to factor in standing charges that come to around £85 a year. This means that for a year, you’d pay around £438.01.
With a 6-panel system installed, your electricity bills effectively disappear overnight! Instead of paying inflated electricity bills, you can pay back monthly finance payments to cover your panels. After 5+ years you’re finance is paid off, and you save around £500 a year assuming electricity prices keep increasing.

What brand of solar panel is best?
In the last few years, the development of solar panels has taken a huge step forward. The efficiency of panels being produced has doubled. That means you can install standard size panels and generate
We recommend Jinko Tiger Neo All-Black panels. These come with unique benefits that maker them the solar panel of choice at the moment. They have:
- longer warranties
- less degradation over time
- black metal frames to blend in with the roof material more.
Additionally, they have in-built optimisers. These keep the panel running to optimal efficiency. For example, if your roof has some shading the in-built optimisers split the panels into individual cells and only turn off the parts in shade, rather than the whole panel. Meaning you still you get power from the rest of the panel that’s not covered by shade.
