For maximum energy production, they should ideally be installed on a south-facing roof, though east and west orientations are also effective. North-facing roofs are the least efficient but most homes in the UK have the opportunity for optimal panel placement.<br></li> <li><strong>Monitor system performance</strong>: A solar panel smart metres track real-time data, including voltage and weather conditions, to continuously assess the performance of your system. Monitoring lets you spot potential issues early, preventing energy loss or costly repairs by catching problems before they become serious. These are often included in system quotes. Smart meters will also automatically take half-hourly readings and send them directly to your SEG licensee.<br></li> <li><strong>Battery energy storage options</strong>: The UK Government’s Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) compensates solar PV owners for surplus energy they export to the grid. By incorporating battery storage, you can store excess energy generated during the day and sell it back to the grid during peak evening hours. Regulated suppliers must provide export options for eligible microgenerators. Residents in England, Scotland, and Wales may qualify for SEG tariffs.<br></li> <li><strong>Get a grant</strong>: <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/solar-energy/solar-panels/solar-panel-grants">Solar panel grants</a> like the ECO4 scheme can help consumers get free solar panels in the UK. Currently, there is 0% VAT on solar panels, batteries, and other renewable energy products, allowing for a discount of over £2,850 on the purchase of a 4kW system.<br></li> <li><strong>Compare quotes: </strong>Collecting quotes from multiple reputable installers is a sure way to get a good local deal since you can compare offers and choose the deal that best suits your needs. </li> </ol></div><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p><em>If you're wondering how to get started on getting your quotes, then look no further than GreenMatch's quotes service.
