Three MCS-certified solar firms quoted via BestBuilders for our Gillingham 1930s semi. Chose the firm with a 25-year performance bond rather than just verbal warranty. In-roof mounting kit means panels sit flush with the existing tile line. Insurance updated to note the panels - tiny premium increase.

Solar Installation in Gillingham โ€” FAQs

A typical 4kW to 5kW solar system in Gillingham 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 Gillingham 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 Gillingham 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 Gillingham, 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 Gillingham installer can model whether it pays back for your usage.
