Initial Installation Costs
The cost of a solar panel installation involves more than just the solar system equipment. There are labour and installation costs to be considered, as well as any fees associated with local permits and necessary inspections. Our solar expert will go over these details with you.
Maintenance Cost
Your solar panels cost estimate should include maintenance and periodic checks. Keeping panels free of debris and dirt ensures optimal performance. While modern systems are designed to be low-maintenance, you may also require occasional repairs or replacement of components.
Factors Affecting Cost
Areas with more sunlight exposure generate more energy and decrease the net cost of a solar panel. Older roofs may require reinforcement or repairs before installation. A battery will also add to the final cost, though it will improve system efficiency from 30-50% to 80%.

When Soly installs your solar panels, you get high power yields from day one.
✓ Long service life
When you install a Soly solar system, you can expect a long and solid service life. Our panels last longer, which reduces solar panel costs.
Microinverters
Heart of the system
The microinverter is the heart of your solar installation. It converts the direct current generated by your panels into alternating current that you can use to power your home with clean, economical energy.
Home battery
Storing solar energy
Batteries store excess energy generated during sunny periods. This energy can then be used when the solar panels are not producing electricity, such as at night or during cloudy days. A battery reduces solar panel costs and can provide up to 80% grid independence.

Financial Benefits of Solar Panels
Yes, the initial solar panels cost can be substantial. But the long-term savings on energy bills typically outweigh the upfront costs. And with a solar panel system, you can produce your own power and reduce your reliance on the grid.
Saving on energy
Reduced Energy Bills
Every watt that your solar panels generate is a watt that you didn’t have to purchase from the utility company. And for further savings, homeowners can sell excess electricity generated by their solar panels back to the grid.
Long-term Yield
Increased Property Value
Many buyers are willing to pay a premium for the energy savings and environmental benefits that come with a solar panel system. A solar panel system makes your house more desirable and can increase your property value.
Yield You Can Count On
100% green energy
Soly uses high-efficiency monocrystalline panels, advanced microinverter systems, and optimal panel placement. Their robust materials and self-cleaning coatings minimise performance degradation so you get consistent and long-term energy production.
