Where the money is

Where the savings actually come from

Most of a solar saving comes from a few simple things, and almost none of them are on a spec sheet. Worth knowing before anyone quotes you.

Using it beats selling it
Electricity you use yourself is worth roughly three times what the grid pays you for it. That one fact drives most of the saving.
Your own power is worth about three times what the grid pays.
Moving power to the evening
A battery shifts free daytime generation to the expensive end of the day, which is where the bill really sits.
A battery moves free daytime power to the pricey evening.
Sizing it to your bill
A system built around what you actually spend saves more than a bigger one sold to you on the day.
A system sized to your bill beats a bigger one.
Getting paid for the rest
Whatever you don't use goes back to the grid and earns you money. Rates vary a lot, so it pays to ask.
What you don't use goes back to the grid and pays you.
Bills that keep climbing
The saving isn't fixed. It grows every time prices go up, which is the part most people underestimate.

Seeing more than one price
Two installers can quote thousands apart for the same house. Comparing is the cheapest thing you can do.
Quotes vary by thousands. Comparing costs nothing.

Filled the form in on a Sunday evening expecting nothing until midweek. First installer rang me before ten on the Monday, second one an hour later. Genuinely surprised.

The useful bit was that the quotes actually broke down the same things, so I could see one had left scaffolding out entirely. Saved me a very awkward conversation later.

We're four months in and the bill has gone from about £180 a month to just under £60. Not quite the headline figure but I'm not complaining at all.

Told the first two I wanted to think about it and that was that. No chasing, no 'manager has approved a discount' nonsense. Went with the third in the end.

I'd had a bad run with one of those comparison sites before and nearly didn't bother. Four calls, all from firms that actually work round here, then it stopped.

Dropping the pin on the roof was a nice touch — the surveyor already knew which side faced south before he turned up. Whole thing took three weeks start to finish.

What it could be worth on a home like yours

The saving follows your bill, so it stacks up differently depending on the house.

The sweet spot. Enough demand through the day and evening to use most of what the roof makes, without the cost climbing the way it does on a larger house.

Ask us the awkward ones

Short answers, no hedging.

Nothing. Installers pay us a fee when you accept one of their quotes, in the same way a mortgage broker is paid by a lender. It doesn't change the price you're quoted, and we don't order installers by what they pay us.
Yes, just less. Output follows daylight rather than heat, so a bright cold day is genuinely good and an overcast one still produces — usually somewhere between a fifth and a third of a summer day. Roughly a quarter of the yearly total lands between November and February. Anyone promising more than that is guessing.
It goes back to the grid and you get paid for it under the Smart Export Guarantee. Rates vary a lot by supplier, so check yours before signing anything. A battery changes the maths considerably, because using your own electricity is worth far more than selling it.
Almost certainly not. Domestic solar falls under permitted development in the vast majority of cases. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation areas and a few flat-roof setups — any decent installer will confirm this before quoting, not after.
Usually scaffolding, inverter type and panel model, in that order. One quote might assume a ladder where another prices a full scaffold; one might use a single string inverter where another fits electronics on every panel. Ask each installer to itemise those three things and most of the gap explains itself.
Yes — that is how this works. MCS-certified installers who cover your postcode will ring you to discuss the roof and give you a price. They are all firms we have vetted, and telling any of them you are not interested ends it there.
You go back to the installer who did the work: the contract is between the two of you, not with us. That's exactly why we only pass you to firms that are MCS-certified, RECC-registered and insurance-backed, and why we ask you to rate them afterwards. If an installer we matched you with stops answering, tell us and we'll chase them.
