Keen to introduce solar panels to your property, but concerned about the cost?
One of the things that most concerns people when introducing solar PV panels is the cost. This can vary a great deal depending on several factors including the size of the system, the quality of the panels, installation costs, and any additional equipment needed like inverters or mounting systems.
Although the cost of installing solar panels used to be relatively high, prices have decreased a great deal in recent years. There’s a number of reasons for this:
Technological advancements. Continuous improvements in solar panel manufacturing processes, materials and efficiency have led to lower production costs.
Economies of scale. As the solar industry has grown and demand for solar panels has increased, manufacturers have been able to benefit from economies of scale, reducing per-unit production costs.
Government incentives and policies. Many governments around the world have implemented incentives like tax credits, subsidies, and feed-in tariffs to promote the adoption of solar energy. These incentives can reduce the upfront cost of solar panels for consumers. Although there are grants for heat pumps in the UK, there aren’t currently any Government incentives for solar panels. However, you will quickly save money on your investment.
Increased competition. The growing number of companies producing solar panels has intensified competition in the market, leading to price competition and further driving down prices.
All these factors have contributed to a significant decrease in the price of solar panels, making solar energy a more affordable and attractive option for homeowners, businesses, and utilities
On average, the cost of installing a solar panel system in the UK typically ranges from £4,000 to £8,000 for a residential installation. This cost can be higher or lower depending on the specific circumstances of the installation.
However, the prices are constantly changing, so it’s vital to ask an expert like Jem Energy for the latest prices. We’re always happy to provide the most up-to-date information for your home in Farnborough, Hampshire.
Once your new panels are installed, you can reap the benefits of affordable green energy.
Being solar savvy can not only save you significant amounts of money; you can also receive payments for exporting energy back to the national grid through the Government’s new Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
The average home can save around £700 on energy bills, so they’re well worth the investment.
Although the number of properties with solar panels is rising, the UK is lagging behind many other countries. The Netherlands, Germany and Spain are currently leading the revolution when it comes to this type of technology.
