I padi £9800 for 14 panels, 3.5Kw invertor and a 3.5kWh battery nearly 18 months ago. It's paid me back about £1200 in savings so far and that doesn't count what I've saved in diesel since getting a plug in hybrid.
3 bed semi, 2 adults, 2 kids and paying £150 a month for gas and electric.
Got it installed in Jan 2022, generated 5100kWh, used 75% of that directly and exported 25% at 0.15p a kWh.

Thanks. That’s really helpful. No worries, the G99 approval can take a while so if you need to make a deposit payment use a credit card just for added protection. But if they are part of schemes like HIES you should be ok. |

A company called Infinite Renewables did mine. Original installer went bust along with my deposit but HIES (one of the trade bodies) along with the supplier GivEnergy stepped up and got the whole install done for the original price. Thanks. That’s really helpful.A lot of companies went to the wall when lead times went crazy but the good thing is it’s got rid of a lot of the dodgy companies from the market. |

Who did you go with? I have someone coming to give a quote next week. A company called Infinite Renewables did mine.

If you do it, make sure you get batteries along with it to get the full benefit. I’ve got an 8Kw system and 19Kw of batteries that I got in August last year. Who did you go with? I have someone coming to give a quote next week.In the winter I was cost neutral by charging my batteries at night on an EV tariff and then selling back to the grid for double the price in the day. So far this spring/summer I’m making £20/£30 a week profit and that includes charging a 38Kw PHEV battery regularly. So with the right combination I reckon you can get the payback period down to 6 or 7 years. |
