The Energy Crisis Isn't Going Away
For millions of UK homeowners, the monthly energy bill has become a source of quiet dread. What was once a manageable household expense — something you barely thought about — has transformed into one of the largest line items in the family budget. Since 2021, domestic energy prices have risen by over 60%, and the outlook remains stubbornly bleak.
Ofgem's energy price cap currently stands at £1,928 per year for a typical household — and analysts at Cornwall Insight forecast that bills will remain well above pre-2021 levels through 2026 and beyond. For larger homes or those with older boilers, the figure is considerably higher. The uncomfortable truth is that waiting and hoping for prices to come down is no longer a viable strategy.
Every month you delay is quite literally money leaving your account that didn't need to. The homeowners who are insulating themselves from this crisis — quite literally — are those who've already taken action. And in your area, 312 homeowners requested a quote just this month.

"Our electricity bill dropped from £189/month to £34. I wish we'd done this two years ago — we genuinely lost money waiting."
How Solar Panels Are Changing the Equation
The economics of residential solar have shifted dramatically. A decade ago, solar panels were an expensive curiosity — a statement of environmental intent more than a sound financial decision. That has fundamentally changed. Manufacturing costs have fallen by over 80% since 2010, installation practices have matured, and the UK government has now permanently removed VAT on all residential solar installations.
That 0% VAT rate — confirmed by HMRC in February 2024 with no end date — saves homeowners £450 to £900 on a typical system compared to the standard 20% rate. Combined with the Smart Export Guarantee, which pays you for surplus electricity you feed back to the grid, the financial case has never been stronger.
A typical 4kW solar panel system — suitable for a three-bedroom home — will slash your electricity bill from day one. Most systems pay for themselves within 7 to 9 years, and then deliver near-free electricity for the remaining 16+ years of their 25-year warranty. The savings aren't hypothetical: the average homeowner in our network saves £840 per year, and many save considerably more during the sunnier months.
What surprises many homeowners is the additional income. Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), your energy supplier must pay you for surplus electricity you export to the grid. Homeowners are earning an average of £90–£120 per year on top of their bill savings — turning your roof into a genuine income stream.

Common Questions
Do I need planning permission to install solar panels in your area?
In most cases, no. Updated permitted development rights mean that solar panels on most residential properties in England do not require planning permission. Listed buildings and some conservation areas may be exceptions. We'll confirm your property's status as part of your free eligibility check.
How much can I realistically save on my energy bills?
A typical UK household with a 4kW solar system saves between £640 and £840 per year at current energy prices. Your exact saving depends on your current usage, roof orientation, and whether you add battery storage. We calculate a personalised figure based on your home and your area irradiance data.
Is solar still worth it with the current energy price cap?
Yes — significantly so. Ofgem's price cap is currently £1,928/year for a typical household and analysts forecast bills will remain well above pre-2021 levels through 2026 and beyond. Solar protects you from future rises by generating your own electricity at a fixed cost.
What is MCS certification and why does it matter?
MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) is the UK's quality standard for renewable energy installers. Only MCS-certified installations qualify for the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) — meaning you can get paid for surplus electricity you send back to the grid. All installers in our network are MCS-certified.
How long does installation take?
Most residential solar installations are completed in a single day. From requesting your quote to having panels generating electricity, the average time in your area through our network is under 2 weeks, including survey, ordering, and installation.
What is the 0% VAT on solar panels?
In February 2024, the UK government confirmed that the 0% VAT rate on residential solar panel installations, battery storage, and heat pumps is now permanent. This saves homeowners £450–£900 compared to the standard 20% VAT rate — making now an excellent time to install.
What is the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)?
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) requires energy suppliers with over 150,000 customers to pay you for surplus solar electricity you export back to the grid. UK homeowners earn an average of £90–£120 per year in SEG payments, on top of their bill savings. You must use an MCS-certified installer to qualify.
Is my quote really free and no obligation?
Completely. We provide a personalised savings estimate at no cost, and there is absolutely no obligation to proceed. We will match you with up to 3 MCS-certified installers who will provide competitive quotes — you choose if and when to move forward.
Can I add a battery to my solar system?
Yes, and we strongly recommend exploring it. Battery storage prices have fallen 25% since 2022, and over 35% of new UK solar installs now include a battery. A battery lets you store energy generated during the day and use it in the evening, maximising your self-consumption and savings.
What happens after I submit my details?
Once you complete the short eligibility form, a member of our team will review your information and match you with up to 3 vetted MCS-certified installers in your area. You'll be contacted within 1 working hour during business hours (Mon–Fri, 8am–6pm) to discuss your personalised quote.
