5.9 kW yields ~21.6 kWh/day on average with clear seasonal spread.
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 Yorkshire & the Humber

Solar & Battery System Cost Yorkshire & the Humber
Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs
~£9,682 solar; ~£18,507 with 10 kWh battery. Payback near 9.1 years for solar-only in many cases.
Competitive installer coverage across Leeds, Sheffield, and regional towns.
Solar Rebates & Incentives Yorkshire & the Humber
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.
