The cost of solar panels in the UK varies depending on several factors, including:
- System size: The number of panels you need will depend on your energy consumption and roof space. Larger systems will naturally cost more.
- Panel type: Different types of panels have different efficiencies and costs. Monocrystalline panels are the most efficient but also the most expensive.
- Battery storage: Adding a battery to your system will increase the initial cost but can help you save money on your electricity bills in the long run.
- Installation costs: The cost of labour will vary depending on the complexity of the installation and the location of your property.
- Here are some general estimates from Mr Solar
Without battery storage:
Small system (2-3kW): £3,000 – £4,000
Medium system (4-5kW): £4,000 – £5,500
Large system (6kW+): £5,500+
With 5kwh battery storage:
Small system: £5,500 – £7,500
Medium system: £7,500 – £9,500
Large system: £9,500+
