Through a full year now and the modelled output is bang-on actual. Installer near Cambridge aligned the panels east-west rather than south-only for a flatter generation curve. Insurance happy with the documentation.

Solar Installation in Cambridge โ€” FAQs

A typical 4kW to 5kW solar system in Cambridge costs around ยฃ5,000 to ยฃ8,000 installed, and adding a battery a further ยฃ3,000 to ยฃ6,000. Roof size, panel choice and scaffolding affect the total.
Roof-mounted solar panels in Cambridge are usually permitted development and need no application, as long as they do not project far from the roof slope. Listed buildings and some conservation areas need permission, so check first.
Most Cambridge homeowners see payback in around 7 to 12 years through lower bills and Smart Export Guarantee payments, depending on usage and whether a battery is fitted. Panels typically carry a 25 year performance warranty.
Yes. Use an MCS certified installer in Cambridge, as MCS certification is required to claim Smart Export Guarantee payments and is a sign of a quality installation. Every installer we match you with is vetted.
A battery lets you store daytime generation for use in the evening, which suits households that are out during the day. It increases self-use of your solar power but adds cost, so your Cambridge installer can model whether it pays back for your usage.
