<li><strong>Reduced energy bills:</strong> Installing cheap solar panels can help you save anywhere between <strong>£440–£1,005</strong> on electricity bills, increase your home value, and lower your environmental impact.</li> <li><strong>Affordability:</strong> Buying in bulk or looking for discounted solar panels can make them more affordable. Alternatively, you can choose between the <a href="http://greenmatch.co.uk/solar-energy/solar-panels/solar-panel-grants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">solar panel grants</a> to find financial assistance to cover some of the upfront costs. </li> <li><strong>Suitable for small projects:</strong> If you have a smaller energy requirement, cheap solar panels could be sufficient for your needs.</li> </ul></div><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p>Cons of cheap solar panels:</p> </div><div class="wordpress-list" style="--59fc38e0:;" data-v-9bc93961><ul class="wordpress-list__wrapper" data-v-9bc93961> <li><strong>Lower efficiency:</strong> Cheap solar panels are more likely to be less efficient, usually around 18–21% efficient rather than 20-23% efficient.</li> <li><strong>Affordability hurdle:</strong> The upfront cost of solar panels, even cheap ones, is still a significant investment that may only be affordable for some homeowners.</li> <li><strong>Short lifespan: </strong>Cheap solar panels may degrade faster than premium panels and have shorter lifespans of around 10–25 years.</li> <li><strong>Lower-quality materials:</strong> Cheapest solar panel solutions may have lower quality, less efficiency, and require more frequent replacement compared to higher-end options.</li> </ul></div><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p>Low-cost solar panels can be a cost-effective entry point for homeowners with lower electricity needs, particularly for a <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/solar-energy/solar-system/4kw-solar-panel-system" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">4kW solar system</a> or even a <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/solar-energy/solar-system/5kw-solar-panel-system" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">5kW solar system</a>, which is suitable for powering a 2-3 bedroom house.

Look for online reviews, industry awards, and warranty information. A company with strong financials is more likely to stand behind its products and honour warranties in the future.</li> <li><strong>Check the warranties: </strong>Standard warranties for solar panels are typically 10–12 years. Look for extended warranties, as it signifies their confidence in product quality. Read the fine print of the warranty. Make sure it covers power output degradation over time and potential manufacturing defects.</li> <li><strong>Get quotes:</strong> Talk to reputable solar installers and compare quotes that include different panel options. This will help you understand the cost difference and potential energy production for each option.</li> </ul></div><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p><em>To simplify the often time-consuming task of finding reputable solar energy professionals, here at GreenMatch we can connect you with </em><strong><em>up to 4 certified solar experts </em></strong><em>and save you from hours of searching on your own.
