They should, however, take the next step and calculate the return on investment. Solar panels will easily last 25 years, and your economic considerations should go that long.

If you’re eligible, you could earn entirely free solar panels or a partial payment depending on an assessment of your property. The ECO4 will run until 2026. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>0% VAT:</strong> Until 2027, you can benefit from a VAT reduction and save up to £2,850 by installing a 4kW solar panel system with a battery. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Smart Export Guarantee (SEG):</strong> While it’s not exactly a funding option, this initiative allows you to make money by selling surplus energy generated by your solar panels back to the grid for an income. How much you can earn will vary depending on the energy supplier you export your electricity to. An average household may save up to £75 a year with the SEG. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Warm Homes Plan:</strong> Available from January 2025 to 2028, this funding program helps fund new solar installations.

Payback periods can take around 8 years on average, depending on the following factors:</p> </div><ul class="wordpress-list" style="--ebf5db5c:;" data-v-2f7eb99b><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Solar panel positioning:</strong> Optimal solar system output can depend on positioning and whether your panels are angled properly. In the UK, the ideal angle for solar panels is between 30° and 40° on a south-facing section of your roof. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Sunlight hours:</strong> The UK has about 4 to 5 peak hours of sunlight per day, which can require more powerful systems. In some areas, like the north of Scotland, you may have a larger payback period since you may need either a more expensive solar system or it will take longer to generate the same amount of energy as in other areas. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Solar panel efficiency:</strong> The <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/solar-energy/solar-panels/best"><strong>best solar panels</strong></a> tend to be over 20% efficient at least, in the UK and worldwide. Monocrystalline panels are the best for domestic solar panels in this regard. Higher efficiency will mean better energy generation per hour. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Home energy consumption:</strong> How much energy you consume will also impact the time it takes to recoup your investment. Most homes in the UK consume 2,700kWh per year, but since this is an average, some can consume more or less. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Cost of solar installation:</strong> The cost of your solar energy setup will probably be between £5,000 - £6,000 if you live in a 3-bedroom home. However, larger solar panels, more expensive installation processes, and special types of panels (like integrated solar panels or <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/solar-energy/solar-panels/roof-tiles"><strong>solar roof tiles</strong></a>) can all cost more. These added costs can extend the time it takes to break even on your investment. </li></ul><div class="wordpress-heading u-heading-2 wordpress-heading--h2" style="--38f5543e:left;" data-v-62fde062> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pros"><strong>Pros and cons of getting solar panels</strong></h2> </div><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p>Answering the question: “Is going solar worth it?” isn’t possible without considering the advantages and disadvantages of solar panels.
