The number of solar panels you need depends on your current power demand and, more importantly, your future power consumption. The demand for power is growing. For example, because we want to cook on an electric hob or charge our electric vehicles at home. We therefore also advise you to estimate your power consumption liberally so that the capacity of your solar panel system will match your power consumption well into the future.

Solar panels provide renewable, green energy and are therefore always a good choice. However, many people will also look at the financial aspect. Quite logically. Thanks to solar panels, you can save hundreds of pounds every year depending on the size of the solar panel installation.

Whether your roof is suitable for solar panels depends on several factors. For example, whether your roof can support the construction of solar panels, whether it receives enough sunlight and to what extent your roof covering is suitable. We will be happy to inform you about this.

Yes, you need planning permission in order to be able to install solar panels. That’s because this counts as a large-scale alteration or remodelling of your home. Fortunately, there is a permit exemption in the UK for installing solar panels on a sloping or flat roof. You must be able to meet the following conditions:

• The solar panels are integrated into the roof
• The solar panels are mounted several centimetres above the roof
• For a flat roof: solar panels are installed no higher than 1 metre above the roof edge
• For a pitched roof: the solar panels are at approximately the same pitch as the roof

For more information on the conditions necessary to be able to install solar panels, you can always contact Soly.

A home battery ensures that your surplus generated solar energy is temporarily stored so that you can use it as soon as your solar panels are not generating enough solar energy. This allows you to run your washing machine and dishwasher in the evening, for example. A home battery is sometimes also referred to as a home accumulator.

Once you have solar panels on your roof, you will be able to start generating solar energy. You will not use all the power generated by your solar panels (directly) yourself. That means you will sometimes have to deal with excess power. You may inject that excess power into the energy grid. Depending on the energy provider different tariffs are applied.

If you prefer to purchase solar panels, a one-time investment ensures that you become 100% owner of the solar panel installation on the roof of your home. We always advise you to look at the right price/quality ratio. In addition, Soly allows you to determine the capacity of your system based on your power consumption, thereby making you less dependent on the grid both now and in the future. In our Solar Configurator, you can request a non-binding offer for solar panels.

*The savings of up to £1,300 per year are based on typical usage of 3,500 kWh of electricity per year for an average household* (Source: OFGEM), and the current UK energy market rates. Savings will vary depending on factors such as your energy usage, the unit rate for electricity, the efficiency of your energy system, the specific energy plan or tariff you are on, and location.

*According to this report by energy transition consultancy Baringa Partners, emerging evidence suggests a house value increase of up to 16% for new build homes and a 2-3% value increase for existing homes with solar panels or heat pumps (versus like-for-like gas-heated homes).
