Are Solar Panels Worth It in Derbyshire?

Considering solar panels for your home? You're not alone. Here's why it's a smart move:

Impressive Solar Energy Potential: Your home could be soaking up plenty of sunshine, with an average solar intensity of 509 w/m2. This could generate around 4818 kWh annually. That's a lot of free energy.

Significant Savings: Who doesn't love saving money? By switching to solar, you could see your energy bills drop by about £1,276 a year. That's a saving worth considering.

Doing Your Bit for the Planet: Solar panels mean less reliance on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions. It's a simple way to make a positive impact on the environment.

Boost Your Home's Value: Not only can solar panels help you save, but they can also add value to your home. On average, homes with solar installations see a 4% rise in value. For a £300,000 home, that's an uplift of around £12,000.

More Control Over Your Energy: With solar panels, you're less dependent on the traditional power grid. This gives you more control over your energy use and provides a buffer against rising energy costs.

How Much Do Solar Panels Cost?

Your solar system's overall cost is shaped by a few key elements: the size of your chosen system, the need for a battery integration, the specific inverters you opt for, and the intricacy of the installation itself.

A smaller system, let's say 8-10 panels, might set you back around £6,000-7,000. The silver lining? You're looking at potential annual savings of £600-800.

Considering a 12-15 panel system? That'll typically cost you around £6,500-8,000, but with an estimated yearly saving of £700-900. And for a larger 17-20 panel system, the cost is likely to be £8,000-£9,000, but with a potential saving of roughly £1,000 each year.

Remember, these costs don't factor in a battery. Aspects like the system size you require, your desire for a battery, the type of inverters you select, and the complexity of the installation can all sway the final cost.
