Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions. See our full FAQ page for more detail.

01
How much do solar panels cost in the UK?
A typical 4kW residential solar panel system costs £6,000–£8,000 in Cornwall including installation and 0% VAT (saving you 20% on the total cost). A 6kW system costs £8,500–£12,000. Cornwall generates 3,800–4,200 kWh/year from a 4kW system — 19% above the UK average — giving a typical payback of around 8.6 years solar-only, or 7.2 years with battery storage. Annual savings are typically £700–£1,000.
02
Do solar panels work on cloudy days in the UK?
Yes, solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine. They produce less on overcast days — typically 10–25% of peak output — but they still work. The UK gets enough sunlight for solar to be a sound investment, with average systems generating 3,500–4,500 kWh per year depending on location and roof orientation.
03
Is a battery worth it with solar panels?
A battery significantly increases the value of your solar panels. Without a battery, you typically use only 30–50% of the solar energy you generate — the rest is exported to the grid at 15–25p/kWh. With a battery, self-consumption rises to 70–90%, meaning you use your own free solar energy instead of paying 24.67p/kWh from the grid. A 9.5kWh battery system costs £4,500–£7,000 installed (at 0% VAT). In Cornwall, battery storage typically pays back in 5–7 years.
04
What grants are available for solar and renewable energy in 2026?
Key incentives available in 2026: 0% VAT on solar and battery storage (saves 20%, guaranteed until March 2027); Smart Export Guarantee paying up to 25p/kWh for surplus solar; Boiler Upgrade Scheme (£7,500 grant for heat pump installations, runs to March 2028); Warm Homes: Local Grant (up to £30,000 for EPC D–G homeowners with income below £36,000); and ECO4 for qualifying low-income households (runs to December 2026). We help identify and apply for all available funding as part of our service.
05
Why should I choose an MCS certified installer?
MCS certification means the installer meets rigorous industry standards for design, installation quality, and consumer protection. It's required to access the Smart Export Guarantee for solar and is the benchmark for quality across all renewable energy installations. MCS certified installers follow strict quality management processes and their work is independently audited. Always check your installer's MCS certificate number.
