How is solar electricity suitable for my home?

To tell if solar electricity is right for you, there are a few key questions to consider:

Do you have a sunny place to put it? You'll need a roof or wall that faces within 90 degrees of south, and isn't overshadowed by trees or buildings. If the surface is in shadow for parts of the day, your system will generate less energy.

Is your roof strong enough? Solar panels are not light and the roof must be strong enough to take their weight, especially if the panel is placed on top of existing tiles. If in doubt, ask a construction expert or an installer.

Do you need planning permission? In England, Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland, you don't need planning permission for most home solar electricity systems, as long as they're below a certain size - but you should check with your local planning officer, especially if your home is a listed building, or is in a conservation area or World Heritage Site.

In general you could save

the more electricity the system can generate, the more it costs but the more it could save

solar tiles cost more than conventional panels

panels built into a roof are more expensive than those that sit on top but,

if you need major roof repairs, PV tiles can offset the cost of roof tiles

Savings can be considerable - around 1.2 tonnes of CO₂a year. A 2.7 kWp system can generate around 50% of a household's yearly electricity needs. If the system is eligible to receive the Feed In Tariff it could generate savings and income of around £1,100 per year.

Maintenance is generally small - you'll need to keep the panels relatively clean and make sure trees don't begin to overshadow them.

Solar power uses energy from the sun to create electricity or pre-heat water for your home. Solar panels and water heating systems allow you to create clean, green energy, help to reduce climate change effects and could save you money.

Installing solar panels

You can use PV systems for a building with a roof or wall that faces within 90 degrees of south. No other buildings or large trees should overshadow it. If the roof surface is in shadow for parts of the day, less electricity will be produced.

Solar panels are not light. The roof must be strong enough to take their weight, especially if the panels are placed on top of existing tiles.

Solar panels come in a variety of shapes and colours, including:

grey 'solar tiles' that look like roof tiles

transparent panels that you can use on conservatories or glass to provide shading as well as generate electricity

What solar panels cost

Most domestic systems are between 1.5 and 3 kilowatts (kW) and can produce around half a domestic property’s electricity requirements. For the average house, solar panels usually cost around £12,500 to buy and install, but can vary.

Solar tiles cost more than conventional panels, and panels that are integrated into a roof are more expensive than those that sit on top. If you intend to do major roof repairs, it may be worth considering PV tiles, as they can offset the cost of roof tiles.

How solar panels can save you money

Producing your own energy could be cheaper than buying it from energy companies. In addition, you can also sell any excess energy you generate to energy companies, using Feed-in Tariffs (FITs).

The FITs scheme guarantees a minimum payment for all electricity you generate, as well paying you for any electricity you export to the national grid. The Energy Saving Trust’s website has more information about FITs.

The solar panels most commonly installed by homeowners consist of eight panels, can generate up to 2.5kW and cost between £10,000 and £12,000. The Energy Saving Trust says these panels could generate about £700 a year from a Feed-in Tariff, as well as saving you about £100 a year on energy bills. In addition, you could make about £25 to £30 through selling unused energy back to the national grid.

Planning permission

You may have to get planning permission to fit a PV system, especially in conservation areas or on listed buildings. Always check with your local authority about planning issues before you have a system installed. Obtaining planning permission after the system is in place can be difficult and expensive.

Maintenance

Systems that connect to the grid require very little maintenance. You just need to ensure that the panels are kept relatively clean and that shade from trees isn't a problem. The wiring and components of the system should be checked regularly by a qualified technician. Stand-alone systems (not connected to the grid) need maintenance on other parts of the system, like batteries.

Solar thermal hot water

Solar thermal systems use energy from the sun to pre-heat water for your hot water or space heating needs. There are two types: solar tubes or solar flat plates.

How solar thermal hot water works

For domestic hot water you will need:

solar panels
a heat transfer system
a hot water cylinder

Solar panels - or collectors - are fitted to your roof and collect heat from the sun's radiation. When water is passed through the solar tubes or plates, it heats up and is then pumped into your hot water cylinder or boiler. The heat transfer system uses the collected heat to heat water. A hot water cylinder stores the hot water that is heated during the day so you can use it later.

A system can usually provide all your hot water needs during summer, and around a third of your needs throughout the whole year.

Installing solar thermal on a roof facing southeast to southwest

Preferably, you need three to four square metres of southeast to southwest facing roof, which receives direct sunlight for the main part of the day. You'll also need space for an additional water cylinder, if required. Always check with your local authority about planning issues before you have a system installed.

The costs and benefits to you

The typical installation cost for a domestic system is around £4,800. Installing solar thermal hot water could save you up to £50 per year on your hot water bills, according to the Energy Saving Trust.

Maintenance checks

Solar hot water systems generally come with a ten-year warranty and don't require much maintenance. You should check the system each year and have a professional installer conduct a more in-depth check every three to five years. Ask your system supplier for exact maintenance requirements.

Feed-in tariffs: what energy suppliers pay you for

If you generate your own electricity, e.g. with solar panels or a wind turbine, your energy supplier might pay you money for just doing this. They might provide regular payments. These are called feed-in tariffs.

Your supplier will pay you a set amount of money for each unit (kilowatt hour) of electricity you generate.

The rates for feed-in tariffs vary, depending on:

the size of your system
what technology you install
when your technology was installed
whether the technology was put in by a certified installer

Speak to your supplier to find out what exactly the rate for your technology would be.

Store electricity for a cloudy day: if your home isn't connected to the national grid you can store excess electricity in batteries to use when you need it.
