Solar Design Bromley
Energy Usage
Understanding your household's energy usage is essential for sizing a solar system in Bromley. Average daily consumption sits at around 15 kWh for most Bromley homes, with energy efficient properties typically using substantially less.
Reducing your energy consumption before installing solar can lower your system size requirements and improve returns. Consider upgrading insulation and switching to energy efficient appliances first.
Typical energy usage per person per day in Bromley:
Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.
Solar System Sizing
A solar system sized at approximately 3.9kW would cover your typical daily energy needs. We recommend sizing between 5.9kW and 7.9kW for optimal results as solar output fluctuates daily and seasonally.
In Bromley, a 6.6 kW installation produces around 24.9 kWh per day on average, though output ranges from 2.09 kWh/kW/day during December to 4.63 kWh/kW/day in August.
Solar & Energy Savings
Calculate Heat Pump & EV Savings
Electrify your home by replacing gas heating, petrol vehicles, and other fossil fuel appliances with electric alternatives powered by clean solar energy. This delivers significant additional financial savings and substantial carbon emission reductions. Our calculator helps you compare costs and model the financial impact of switching to electric appliances and vehicles.
How Solar Reduces Your Electricity Bills
The calculations below show how your electricity bills change with solar. Your Old Bill of - per month (- annually) is calculated from your total energy consumption multiplied by the grid electricity rate. Your New Bill of - per month (- annually) accounts for solar generation, the percentage you use directly (self-consumption), remaining grid consumption, and feed-in credits for excess energy exported to the grid. This results in monthly savings of - (- annually).
Battery Storage Bromley
Solar Battery Sizing
With solar-only (no battery), a 6.6 kW system provides approximately 45% self-usage in Bromley, depending on your consumption patterns, drawing 55% from the grid. Installing a 10 kWh battery boosts your energy independence to around 96% per year, cutting grid dependency down to 4%.
Accurate battery savings and ROI require the full Photonik design platform for comprehensive calculations.

Solar & Battery System Cost Bromley
Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs
Solar systems in Bromley are priced around £8,752 for a 6.6 kW installation, rising to approximately £13,557 when including a 10 kWh battery. Solar installations typically pay for themselves within around 7.6 years, whilst batteries extend payback but deliver significantly higher energy independence.
Cost estimates cover equipment, installation labour, and applicable taxes. Modify the system size and battery storage sliders to explore different investment levels and payback periods.
Solar Rebates & Incentives Bromley
While there are currently no federal government rebates for solar panel installations in the UK, there are still financial benefits available for solar system owners.
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) allows you to earn money by selling excess solar electricity back to the grid. Energy suppliers with more than 150,000 customers are required to offer SEG tariffs, which pay you for the renewable electricity you export. Rates vary by supplier and are typically set competitively.
Additionally, installing solar panels can significantly reduce your electricity bills by generating your own renewable energy. The savings depend on your energy consumption patterns and system size, but many homeowners see substantial reductions in their energy costs.
