NO SOLAR PANELS?
What if I can’t have solar panels?
Absolutely fine—lots of homes can’t (thatched or listed roofs, flats, rented properties, shaded roofs, conservation rules). You can still cut bills and improve energy resilience with a battery-only system that charges from the grid at cheaper times and powers your home when prices are high.
Can I still save on energy without solar?
Yes. With a smart time-of-use tariff, a home battery charges overnight (off-peak) and discharges during peak hours. That “load shifting” reduces your daytime unit cost and can meaningfully lower bills. You also get backup capability (model-dependent) for outages. Savings depend on your usage, battery size and tariff spread—but many households see a solid reduction without any PV on the roof.
When can I see a return? depends on the price gap between your off-peak and peak rates. If you can consistently shift ~4–6 kWh/day from ~26p/kWh peak to single-digit off-peak, payback often lands ~8–12 years (longer if the tariff spread is smaller or usage is low). For context, EST say each stored kWh you use at night saves ~14p—a conservative baseline.
HOW MUCH DOES SOLAR COST?
What is the typical cost of a solar installation?
It obviously depends on the size of the house and lots of other factors however as a guide – In Herts/Beds/Bucks, most 4–5 kW home solar installs land between £5.3k–£7.8k. Add a typical 5–10 kWh battery and you’re usually in the £11k–£15.5k range. In Outer London, factor a little extra for labour/overheads.
How long before it pays for itself?
Solar PV only (typical home ~3.5–4 kWp): around 10–12 years in the South (e.g., London), stretching to 12–15 years further north or if you’re out most days. That’s Energy Saving Trust’s current guidance based on the July 2025 price cap.
Solar + Battery: commonly ~7–12 years depending on battery size, your evening usage, and whether you’re on a time-of-use tariff (faster if you self-consume more of your solar).
Savings/payback swing with: your roof/output, when you’re home to use solar, battery size, tariff spread (peak vs off-peak), SEG export rate, and kit/installation costs.
