For a typical 3-4 bedroom house in Central Scotland, a standard 4kW solar panel system costs around £5,500 to £7,500 fully installed. That includes panels, inverter, roof mounting, all wiring, DNO notification, and your MCS certification.
If you want to add battery storage at the same time, expect £9,000 to £12,500 for a combined solar and battery system. For larger homes or higher energy usage, a 6kW system runs from around £8,000 to £10,000.
0% VAT until March 2027 — Solar panels and battery storage are currently 0% VAT, which saves you around 20% compared to the standard rate. This is automatic and applies to all domestic installations.
Your actual savings depend on your roof orientation, how much electricity you use during the day, and whether you add a battery to store excess generation. We assess those details during the free survey and explain the likely performance before providing a fixed quote.
