Solar Design Ealing
Energy Usage
Your daily energy consumption determines the optimal solar system size for your home in Ealing. Whilst typical Ealing households consume 15 kWh daily, homes with good insulation and modern appliances often use far less energy.
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 Ealing:
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. Optimal sizing ranges from 5.9kW to 7.9kW to accommodate daily and seasonal generation variations.
A 6.6 kW solar array in Ealing delivers approximately 24.8 kWh daily, with generation varying seasonally from 2.08 kWh/kW/day in December up 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 Ealing
Solar Battery Sizing
A 6.6 kW solar-only setup in Ealing delivers around 45% self-sufficiency, leaving 55% dependent on grid electricity. Adding a 10 kWh battery increases energy independence to approximately 95% annually, reducing grid reliance to 5%.

Solar & Battery System Cost Ealing
Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs
A 6.6 kW solar system in Ealing is priced at approximately £8,752, whilst adding 10 kWh of battery storage increases the total investment to around £13,557. Solar systems typically achieve payback in around 7.6 years, whilst adding battery storage extends the payback period but provides greater 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 Ealing
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.
