Expert Solar Panel Installers in London

Yes — solar panels are worth it across the UK, including London. Despite the reputation for grey weather, the UK receives enough sunlight for solar panels to generate significant electricity year-round. A typical 4kW system in London generates around 3,400–3,800 kWh per year. Combined with a battery storage system, most homeowners see 85–90% of their electricity needs covered by solar. With electricity prices remaining high, most systems pay back in 3–5 years and generate returns for 25+ years.

The cost of solar panel installation in London depends on system size, roof type, and whether you're adding battery storage. A typical residential solar system starts from around £5,000–£7,000 for a 4kW system, with battery storage adding £3,000–£8,000 depending on capacity and brand. We provide a fully itemised, no-obligation quote after your free property survey — so you know exactly what you're paying for before committing to anything.

Savings depend on your current electricity usage, system size, and whether you add battery storage. A household spending £150/month on electricity could typically save £1,200–£1,800 per year with solar and battery storage combined. You can also earn additional income through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) — paid by energy suppliers for electricity you export back to the grid. As MCS-certified installers, all our systems qualify for SEG.

You don't need battery storage — solar panels work without one. But without a battery, any surplus electricity you generate during the day is exported to the grid at a low rate, and you then buy electricity back at full price in the evening. A battery stores that surplus so you can use it at night, significantly increasing your self-sufficiency and savings. Most of our customers in London opt for solar and battery together for maximum bill reduction.

A typical residential solar installation takes 1–2 days from start to finish. Battery storage added at the same time usually adds half a day. Our in-house team handles everything — scaffolding, panel fitting, inverter and battery installation, electrical connection, system commissioning, and full handover with monitoring setup. We also handle all MCS certification paperwork and notify your DNO (distribution network operator) on your behalf.

Most roofs in London are suitable for solar panels. South-facing roofs at a 30–40 degree pitch produce the most energy, but east and west-facing roofs also work well. Flat roofs can accommodate solar with angled mounting frames. Our engineers assess your specific roof during the free survey — checking orientation, shading from trees or neighbouring buildings, structural condition, and available space — before recommending a system designed for your exact situation.
