Solar Design Tower Hamlets
Energy Usage
The right solar system size for your Tower Hamlets property depends on how much electricity you use each day. Typical homes consume approximately 15 kWh daily on average, though well-insulated properties with efficient appliances often use significantly less.
It's worth reducing your energy usage before going solar, as this can decrease the system size you need and improve payback. Focus on better insulation and energy efficient appliances.
Typical energy usage per person per day in Tower Hamlets:
Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.
Solar System Sizing
Matching your daily energy needs requires approximately 3.9kW of solar capacity. Systems sized between 5.9kW and 7.9kW perform best, accounting for natural fluctuations in solar production.
A 6.6 kW system in Tower Hamlets generates approximately 24.8 kWh daily on average, with seasonal variation from 2.08 kWh/kW/day in 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 Tower Hamlets
Solar Battery Sizing
A 6.6 kW solar-only setup in Tower Hamlets delivers around 45% self-sufficiency, leaving 55% dependent on grid electricity. A 10 kWh battery storage system can raise your energy independence to approximately 95% annually, lowering grid reliance to 5%.
Accurate battery savings and ROI require the full Photonik design platform for comprehensive calculations.

Solar & Battery System Cost Tower Hamlets
Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs
Expect to invest approximately £8,752 for a 6.6 kW solar system in Tower Hamlets, or around £13,557 with a 10 kWh battery included. Solar systems typically achieve payback in around 7.6 years, whilst adding battery storage extends the payback period but provides greater energy independence.
The breakdown covers equipment, installation, and taxes. Adjust the system size and battery sliders to see how different configurations affect your investment and payback timeline.
Solar Rebates & Incentives Tower Hamlets
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.
