Solar Panel Cost and Payback Period
Investing in solar panels not only helps reduce electricity costs but also pays off over time thanks to energy savings and potential government incentives. Installation and equipment costs vary depending on the panel type and installation complexity.
3kW System
4kW System
5kW System
6kW SystemFactors Affecting Payback:
Sunlight availability in the region:
The more sunny days, the more energy generated and saved.
Energy tariffs:
Rising electricity prices can shorten the payback period as the value of saved energy increases.
Government subsidies and incentives:
In the UK, programs like SEG can accelerate payback by providing additional income for every kilowatt-hour returned to the grid.
On-grid Solar Panel System
A home solar panel system harnesses sunlight and converts it into electricity to power your home, reduce energy bills and provide backup during outages. This integrated system provides sustainable, reliable energy while reducing utility costs, offering a simple way to make your home more eco-friendly and energy-efficient.
Solar Panels:
Mounted on the roof, these panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.
Inverter:
The inverter changes DC electricity from the panels into alternating current (AC), the type of electricity your home’s appliances and lights use.
Battery Storage:
Excess energy is stored in batteries, so you have power available at night or during cloudy weather, making your home less dependent on the utility grid.
Meter:
The meter tracks your energy usage and any extra electricity sent back to the grid. Many homes receive credits for this surplus energy through a net metering program.
Utility Grid Connection:
When solar energy production is low, your home automatically pulls power from the grid, ensuring you always have electricity available.
Off-grid Solar Panel System
An off-grid solar panel system operates independently of the utility grid, making it ideal for remote locations or homes seeking complete energy independence. Unlike a grid-tied system, an off-grid setup relies entirely on solar, battery and generator power, offering true energy independence and self-sufficiency.
Solar Panels:
Mounted on the roof, these panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.
Inverter:
The inverter changes DC electricity from the panels into alternating current (AC), the type of electricity your home’s appliances and lights use.
Battery Storage:
Batteries store excess energy generated during the day for use at night or during cloudy periods, providing a reliable, round-the-clock power supply.
Meter:
The meter helps monitor energy production and usage, allowing you to optimize battery levels and overall system performance.
Backup Generator:
If solar and battery power run low, a backup generator kicks in, ensuring an uninterrupted power supply during extended periods of low sunlight.

Some of our recent Projects & Case Studies?
Off-Grid 5.7kW Solar Power System for Hotel
We installed an off-grid 5.7kW solar power system at a remote hotel in northern Scotland, expanding the solar array from 7 to 16 high-efficiency panels and adding a second 6kW SMA Solar Inverter alongside BYD lithium batteries (20kWh) for extended energy storage. The system, equipped with MPPT charge controllers, generates up to 22 kWh per day, providing up to 48 hours of autonomy and reducing diesel generator usage by approximately 65% annually, cutting fuel costs and lowering CO₂ emissions by 2,000 kg per year.

On-Grid 5kW Solar Power System for residential home
We installed an on-grid 5kW solar power system with 14 high-efficiency solar panels, a hybrid inverter and a battery storage system to maximize energy efficiency and provide reliable backup power during outages. The hybrid inverter seamlessly manages energy distribution, storing excess solar power in batteries for later use and supplying power from the grid when needed. This system reduces electricity costs, optimizes energy usage and ensures uninterrupted power supply during grid failures, offering both sustainability and energy security.

Residential Wind Turbine Project for Outdoor Lighting
We installed a compact horizontal-axis wind turbine (300W) on a 2-meter pole in the yard of a private home to power outdoor LED lighting. The system includes a 12V 100Ah lithium battery with an MPPT charge controller and a 300W pure sine wave inverter, ensuring stable energy supply. The turbine, optimized for average wind speeds of 4.8 m/s, generates approximately 1.5 kWh per day, providing reliable night-time illumination for garden pathways and patio areas. The energy stored in the battery offers up to 20 hours of lighting autonomy. This project highlights an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution for residential outdoor lighting using renewable wind energy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much energy can a residential solar power system generate?
The amount of energy generated depends on the system size, location and sunlight availability. On average, a residential solar system can produce between 3,000 and 10,000 kWh per year, which is often enough to cover most of a household's energy needs.
Can a wind turbine power my home?
Yes! A properly sized residential wind turbine can generate enough electricity to meet or supplement your home’s energy demands, especially in areas with consistent wind speeds above 5 meters per second (11 mph).
What happens during cloudy days or low wind conditions?
Solar panels and wind turbines will generate less power during cloudy or low-wind conditions. However, battery storage or hybrid systems can provide backup power, ensuring consistent energy supply even when conditions are not ideal.
How long does the installation process take?
Installation typically takes between 1 to 5 days, depending on the system size and complexity. The full process, including permitting and inspections, may take a few weeks from start to finish.
Is an off-grid system reliable in remote locations?
Absolutely. Off-grid systems are specifically designed for remote areas and include batteries and energy management systems to ensure a stable power supply 24/7 — even without access to the main electricity grid.
How much can I save on energy bills?
Savings depend on your energy consumption and system size. Many homeowners reduce their energy bills by 50–90%. Over time, the system often pays for itself through savings and possible government incentives.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels or a wind turbine?
In many cases, small-scale solar panels and wind turbines fall under permitted development. However, this can vary based on your location and the size of the installation. It's best to check local regulations or let us handle the planning requirements for you.
How long do the solar panels and batteries last?
Solar panels typically last 25–30 years with minimal efficiency loss. Batteries generally last 10–15 years, depending on usage and type. Our systems use high-quality components for maximum lifespan and reliability.
Do you offer maintenance and support?
Yes, we offer full lifecycle support including regular maintenance, system monitoring and responsive customer service to ensure your system runs efficiently for years to come.
