What are solar panels?
Solar panels — more accurately known as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels — capture daylight and convert it into usable electricity for your home. Mounted to your roof or ground-mounted on your property, a solar PV system works by passing sunlight through photovoltaic cells, which generate a direct current (DC). An inverter then converts this into the alternating current (AC) that powers your household appliances.
Crucially, solar panels don’t need direct sunlight to generate electricity. Modern PV technology is designed to perform even on the overcast days that are common across North Wales — so the investment makes sense year-round, not just in summer.
Where can solar panels be installed?
If you’re unsure whether your property is suitable, our team will carry out a free assessment and advise you honestly. Most domestic solar panel installations are on pitched roofs, but we install across a range of property types:
Pitched roofs
The most common and cost-effective option.
Flat roofs
Fully achievable with the right mounting system; we consult structural engineers prior to any flat roof installation to ensure integrity.
Garage roofs
A great option if your main roof is shaded or north-facing.
Ground-mounted systems
Ideal if your roof isn’t suitable, or if you want to maximise generation capacity.
Why install solar panels at home?
Solar PV is one of the most cost-effective home improvements available to UK homeowners right now. With energy prices continuing to rise and 0% VAT on solar and battery storage installations until 2027, there has never been a better time to invest.
Reduce your energy bills
Generate your own free electricity during daylight hours and significantly reduce what you draw from the grid. Most homeowners with a well-sized solar PV system see energy bill reductions of up to 70–80% when combined with battery storage.
Earn money through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)
Any surplus electricity your system generates can be exported back to the National Grid. Under the government-backed Smart Export Guarantee, your energy supplier pays you for every unit you export — turning your roof into an income stream as well as a money saver. As an Octopus Energy Trusted Partner, we can advise on maximising your SEG payments.
Increase your property value
Solar panels are increasingly viewed as a desirable feature by homebuyers. Installing a solar PV system can add value to your home and improve your EPC rating — typically by around 15 points — which can make your property more attractive when it comes to selling.
Free electric vehicle charging
If you drive an electric vehicle, a solar-compatible EV charger allows you to charge using your own generated electricity — effectively for free. We install EV chargers alongside solar PV systems across North Wales and can design the two to work together seamlessly.
Battery storage — make the most of every unit
Pair your solar panels with a battery storage system and store the energy you generate during the day for use in the evening and overnight. We are Tesla Powerwall approved installers, as well as stocking a range of other leading battery storage solutions to suit every budget and property type.
How much do solar panels cost in North Wales?
A typical domestic solar PV installation in North Wales costs between £5,000 and £8,000, depending on system size, roof type, panel specification, and whether battery storage is included. The average home system is around 3.5–4kW.
While the upfront cost is a real consideration, solar panels should be viewed as a long-term investment. Most homeowners recoup the cost within 7–10 years through energy bill savings and SEG export payments — and continue to benefit for 25 years or more. All domestic solar and battery storage installations currently qualify for 0% VAT until April 2027, saving you hundreds of pounds compared to standard VAT rates.
Finance options available
If you’d prefer to spread the cost, we offer flexible finance options with a low deposit and repayment terms of 1–5 years. For many customers, the monthly saving on their energy bill offsets the finance payment from day one. Speak to our team for a personalised finance illustration.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Modern solar PV panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine. Wales receives enough annual sunlight hours to make solar a sound financial investment, and battery storage means you can use the energy you generate around the clock.
Most domestic installations are completed within one to two days, depending on system size and roof complexity. We’ll give you a clear timeline before any work begins.
Savings vary based on your system size, energy usage, and whether you add battery storage. A typical 4kW system with battery storage can reduce your electricity bill by 70–80%. Our team will provide realistic, personalised estimates — not inflated projections.
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is a government-backed scheme that requires licensed energy suppliers to pay you for surplus electricity you export to the grid. Rates vary by supplier — as an Octopus Energy Trusted Partner, we can advise on maximising your SEG income.
In most cases, solar panels fall under permitted development and don’t require planning permission. Exceptions include listed buildings and some conservation areas. We’ll flag any planning considerations during your initial survey.
