How Much Do Solar Panels Cost?

Your solar system's cost is tailored by a few important factors: the size of your system, the need for a battery, your choice of inverters, and the intricacy of the installation process.

If you're considering a more compact system, say 8-10 panels, you're likely to invest around £6,000-7,000. The silver lining? You're on track to save £600-800 each year.

Leaning towards a 12-15 panel system? You're typically looking at an investment of £6,500-8,000, and you could pocket savings of £700-900 annually. And if you're contemplating a larger 17-20 panel system, your investment would be around £8,000-£9,000, but with a potential saving of about £1,000 each year.

Just a gentle reminder, these costs don't factor in a battery. Elements like the size of the system you need, your desire for a battery, your inverter choice, and the installation's complexity all play a part in the final cost.
