Overview
Solar PV designed
Solar PV designed
around your property.
Every Synergy Power solar PV system is designed for your roof pitch, orientation, electricity use and long-term plans, not taken from a catalogue. From a family home in Loughborough to a large ground-mounted system, the approach is the same: design for the site, installation by our own team and aftercare afterwards.
We use panels from Tier 1 manufacturers and match the inverter and mounting system to your roof type and any shading. Every installation is MCS-certified, so you are eligible for Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments, and you are covered by the RECC consumer code throughout.
Every proposal includes a 25-year cashflow model rather than a headline payback figure. Our design team builds it from current UK unit rates, expected SEG income and realistic assumptions about panel performance over time.
Why UK properties choose solar
Four reasons solar
Four reasons solar
makes sense in Britain.
Solar panels work well in UK daylight. A well-designed 4 kWp system in the Midlands can generate around 3,600 kWh a year, a useful share of what a typical home uses each year.
Earn from SEG
Get paid for surplus electricity you export under the Smart Export Guarantee. An MCS-certified installation makes you eligible.
Earn from every exported kWh; rates vary by supplier.Increase property value
MCS-certified solar can improve your home’s EPC rating, which buyers increasingly look at.
Lower running costs are a selling point for buyers.Cut Scope 2 emissions
Businesses reduce indirect emissions and receive MCS documentation to support ESG reporting.
A 100 kWp array offsets ~22 tonnes CO₂ per year.

Frequently asked
Common
Common
solar questions.
Straight answers from our UK design team.
Still have a question?0330 043 1047How much do solar panels cost in 2026?
Every system is designed around the property, so the cost depends on roof size, system size, whether you add a battery and the equipment you choose. Commercial systems are priced after a feasibility study of the site and its energy data. Your quotation is fixed-price after a free site survey, with no variations mid-project.
What is the Smart Export Guarantee, and do I qualify?
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) means licensed electricity suppliers pay you for the electricity you export. Payments are based on metered export, each supplier sets its own rate, and systems up to 50 kW need MCS certification to qualify. Every system we install is MCS-certified. Rates vary by supplier and change over time, so we help you compare the options.
Is there VAT on home solar panels?
Solar PV installed in homes in Great Britain is currently zero-rated for VAT under HMRC's energy-saving materials relief, until 31 March 2027. Commercial installations are standard-rated.
How long does installation take?
Home installations are typically completed in 1-3 days on site. Larger commercial and multi-plot programmes take from two weeks to two months on site, depending on scale, scaffolding and DNO connection lead times.
Do you handle DNO applications?
Yes. Smaller systems, up to about 3.68 kW single-phase (16 A per phase), are usually connected and then notified to the DNO under G98. Larger systems need a G99 application approved by the network operator before connection. We confirm which applies at design stage and manage the paperwork with your local DNO, such as National Grid Electricity Distribution, UK Power Networks or Northern Powergrid.
What warranty do I get?
Panels carry a manufacturer performance warranty, and inverter warranties vary by brand, plus our own workmanship guarantee. We confirm the exact terms for your equipment in your quotation.
What if my roof isn't south-facing?
That need not rule solar out. East-west systems spread generation more evenly across the day, which suits homes with a battery. North-east or north-west roofs can also work with the right inverter and battery combination, and we model this at survey.
Will the panels damage my roof?
They should not. K2 and GSE mounting systems are designed for standard slate, tile and metal roofs without compromising weatherproofing. Our roofing team inspects the roof and flags any structural concerns before we quote.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
Most rooftop solar on houses is permitted development, so planning permission is not usually needed. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some flat-roof or ground-mounted systems may need consent, and we advise on this at survey.
Can I add a battery later?
Yes. A battery can usually be added to an existing solar system later. We check compatibility with your inverter at survey and can design the system now so storage is straightforward to add.
Can I charge my electric car from my solar panels?
Yes. A smart charger with a solar-diversion mode sends surplus generation to your car instead of exporting it. We can install one with your panels or add it later.
