Is a battery worth the extra cost?
For most homes, yes. Without a battery, much of your solar power goes back to the grid for a low export rate while you're out, and you buy electricity back at full price in the evening. A battery keeps that power for when you need it, and in winter it can charge on a cheap overnight tariff. Up to 73% savings have been achieved with batteries alone.
VAT on solar panels
Solar panels and batteries installed in homes currently have 0% VAT, due to run until 31 March 2027. Our home prices already reflect this.
How much could you save?
In Greater Manchester, a south-facing system typically generates around 850kWh a year for every kW of panels. What that's worth depends on how much you use at home, your tariff and your export rate. Our solar calculator gives an indicative price, yearly saving and payback for your home in under a minute.
Commercial solar prices
Business systems are priced per site, from your roof, your half-hourly usage and your grid connection. Commercial customers can reduce electricity bills by up to 60%, with payback typically in 3 to 6 years. Book a free site assessment for a full design and savings model.
