For people planning to install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, there are a number of factors which will influence the cost of installation and the size of any savings they are likely to generate.
There are a number of online solar PV calculators which can be used by prospective purchasers to gauge the overall cost effectiveness of such a system and these are offered by suppliers of solar panels, as well as on independent websites.
All solar PV and solar thermal installations must use MCS certified equipment and installed by or signed-off by an MCS accredited company to benefit from government incentives. Please ensure that your installer holds the necessary certifications before proceeding with work.
