Solar panels have numerous benefits for the average household, and can cut your energy bills drastically. They are fast becoming a staple energy source for households, businesses and councils as a cost-effective and energy efficient solution for producing energy. But their exact cost will differ depending on a variety of factors.

Energy produce

The number of solar panels you require will mainly depend on your aims for solar power. If you are hoping to simply supplement your energy bill, you won’t have to pay as much for solar panels. Whereas if you’re looking to generate enough energy to cover your entire energy bill, you may have to pay more for the initial set up.

Household size

Larger households will have a much higher energy consumption level than singular households. This, in turn, may mean larger houses have to pay more for solar panel installation in order to produce enough energy to cover the costs.

Feed In Tariff

It’s important to remember the costs that are payable to you with solar panels. The Feed In Tariff means you actually get paid for generating your own renewable energy. This amount will depend on how much energy you produce but you’ll get paid for every unit generated. Any excess energy you produce can be sold back to the National Grid too, meaning there are plenty of ways to quickly earn your money back.
