Solar Panel Installation
Transform your roof into a clean energy powerhouse
Why Go Solar?
Solar panels are one of the smartest investments a UK homeowner can make. With electricity prices continuing to rise and government incentives making the upfront cost more affordable than ever, there has never been a better time to generate your own clean energy. Here are the key reasons thousands of UK homeowners are making the switch.
Save 60–80% on Electricity Bills
A well-sized solar panel and battery system can reduce your electricity bills by 60 to 80 per cent. With the average UK household spending over £1,500 per year on electricity, that translates to savings of £900 to £1,200 annually — and those savings grow as energy prices continue to rise.
0% VAT Until March 2027
The UK government has removed VAT on residential solar panel installations until at least March 2027. On a typical system, that's a saving of £1,600 to £2,400 compared to the standard 20% rate. This incentive won't last forever, making now the ideal time to invest in solar.
Increase Your Property Value
Research consistently shows that solar panels increase property values by 4 to 14 per cent. As energy costs become a bigger factor in buying decisions, homes with solar installations are increasingly attractive to purchasers who want lower running costs and a smaller carbon footprint.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
A typical UK residential solar system offsets approximately 1.5 tonnes of CO2 per year — the equivalent of planting around 70 trees annually. Over a 25-year lifespan, that's a genuinely meaningful contribution to the fight against climate change, all while saving money on your energy bills.
What We Install
At Lunar Solar, we exclusively install the latest N-type solar panels rated at 515 watts or above. N-type technology represents the current state of the art in solar cell manufacturing, and we believe our customers deserve nothing less than the best performing panels available.
So what makes N-type panels superior? The key difference lies in the silicon wafer. Unlike older P-type panels, N-type cells use phosphorus-doped silicon that is far less susceptible to light-induced degradation. This means your panels maintain their efficiency for longer, generating more electricity over their 25-year-plus lifespan. N-type panels also perform significantly better in low-light and partially shaded conditions — a critical advantage in the UK climate where overcast days are common.
All our panels feature an elegant all-black aesthetic with black frames, black backsheets, and dark cells. This gives your roof a sleek, modern appearance that blends naturally with most roof tiles. For properties in conservation areas or with particular aesthetic requirements, the all-black design is often a key factor in securing planning approval.
Every panel we install comes with a comprehensive 25-year manufacturer warranty covering both product defects and minimum power output. After 25 years, your panels are guaranteed to still produce at least 87% of their rated power — a testament to the durability and quality of N-type technology.
Our Installation Process
From your first enquiry to switching on your system, we make the entire process straightforward and stress-free.
Free Survey
One of our experienced surveyors visits your home to assess your roof’s suitability. We check orientation, pitch angle, shading from nearby trees or buildings, and the structural condition of your roof. We also review your current electricity usage and discuss your energy goals, so we can design a system that’s perfectly matched to your household.
System Design
Using data from your survey, our design team creates a bespoke solar array layout that maximises generation for your specific roof. You’ll receive a detailed proposal showing expected annual generation, projected savings, and a clear breakdown of costs. We’ll also handle the DNO (Distribution Network Operator) notification on your behalf.
Installation
Our MCS-certified installers arrive on the agreed date with all equipment and scaffolding. Most residential installations are completed in just one to two days. We take great care to keep disruption to a minimum, protecting your property throughout and leaving your home clean and tidy when we’re finished.
Commissioning & Handover
Once installation is complete, we commission your system and walk you through how everything works. We’ll set up your monitoring app so you can track generation in real time, register your MCS certificate, and ensure you’re enrolled on a Smart Export Guarantee tariff so you can start earning from any surplus electricity you export.
How Much Do Solar Panels Cost?
A typical residential solar panel and battery system costs between £10,000 and £20,000, depending on system size, panel count, and the complexity of your installation. Thanks to the current 0% VAT rate on residential solar, you save an additional £1,600 to £2,400 that you would otherwise pay in tax.
Several factors influence the final cost of your system. The size of your roof and the number of panels it can accommodate is the primary driver. A south-facing roof with minimal shading will generate more per panel, potentially allowing a smaller (and less expensive) system to meet your needs. Roof complexity also plays a role — multi-aspect roofs, dormer windows, and difficult access can add to scaffolding and installation time.
Most homeowners see a complete return on their investment within approximately seven years, after which the electricity your system generates is effectively free. With panels warranted to last at least 25 years, that means 18 or more years of pure savings. We provide a detailed cost breakdown and projected payback timeline as part of every free survey, so you know exactly what to expect before committing.
