Putting Solar Panels on Your Home: How It Works

If you're thinking about solar panels for your home, we can look after the whole job. As NICEIC approved electricians based in Darlington, we carry out solar panel installation for homeowners across Durham and the wider North East. We begin by looking at how much electricity you use and how much sun your roof gets, then recommend the right panels and inverter for your budget and space. We also check whether any permissions are needed. Once the panels are fitted, we connect them to your home, test everything and show you how to monitor what your system generates, so you can enjoy clean energy and lower bills.

Solar Panel Installation Cost

The cost depends on the size of the system, your roof type, whether scaffolding is needed and if you add a battery. Most home solar panel systems cost between £5,000 and £11,000 without a battery. After a survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know the full price before we start. Solar panel installations are currently zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027. For a quick estimate, try our Cost Calculator or call 01325 261835.

Solar Battery Installation

A battery stores the electricity your panels make during the day so you can use it in the evening instead of exporting it. We can fit a battery with a new system, or add one to panels you already have once we've checked your inverter. It also pairs well with a home EV charger, so you can charge your car with your own power.
