Frequently Asked Questions
How much do solar panels cost in the North East?
A typical 4kW residential system costs between £5,000 and £7,000 including installation and 0% VAT. Larger 6-8kW systems range from £7,000 to £10,000. We provide free, no-obligation quotes with a full breakdown of costs and projected savings.
How many solar panels do I need for my home?
Most UK homes need between 8 and 16 panels depending on usage, roof size and orientation. A typical 3-bed semi (around 3,500kWh/year) suits a 4kW system (8-10 panels). Larger homes with EVs or heat pumps may need 6-10kW.
Do solar panels work in the North East and in winter?
Yes. Modern high-efficiency panels generate significant electricity even on overcast days. Winter output is lower but panels still generate — pairing with battery storage ensures you maximise every unit generated.
How long does installation take?
A standard residential solar install takes 1-2 days; adding battery storage 2-3 days. The full process from survey to switch-on usually takes 4-8 weeks.
Do I need planning permission?
Most domestic installs fall under Permitted Development. Listed buildings, conservation areas or large ground-mounted arrays may need permission — we advise you during the survey.
