If you already have solar panels fitted to your roof – we can just install a smart battery so you can store and trade the energy you capture.
Investing in a full solar system means you could be up to £31,022* better off, as solar PV panels and smart battery storage lets you trade your surplus energy on the game-changing Social Energy app.
Every home’s solar energy system is unique – varying from the number of solar PV panels to the size of your smart storage battery.

You can rest assured that all quotes and estimates we provide you are independently verified by EPVS (Energy Performance Verification).
It’s really important that all solar installations have this independent review. It ensures that you’re not given inflated information about how much income you could earn or money you could save.
All of our solar installation jobs are sent to EPVS to be verified for quality and accuracy of our pricing and quotations. You can look into this yourself at www.epvs.co.uk for further information.

Going solar is an investment in a brighter tomorrow. It’s cleaner, greener and more affordable way to source your energy, become less reliant on the Grid and even make money by trading your surplus energy. Your solar solution will be bespoke to your home. It could cost from £4,995 for solar PV panels alone and from £8,495 for solar PV compete with the Social Energy smart battery (based on a typical 3-bed house); the exact price depends on your roof size, how many solar panels you need and whether you wish to add a smart battery to store/sell your energy.

Our installation team usually take one day to install a standard 12-panel system on a standard roof. All properties are different, so this can vary. Our team will confirm how long the job will take before it starts. Scaffolding may be erected up to a week before and may be left erected for a period beyond installation. We will let you know in advance and will keep you updated when the scaffolding team will be with you.
No red tape, no hassle – a solar panel system doesn’t need any special permission from your local authority to be fitted onto your home.
The only exception to this is if you live in a listed building or live in a designated Conservation Area or World Heritage site. Even then, you can still have solar panels installed – onto a roof that isn’t visible from a road.
*Social Energy figures based upon a new Social Energy connected SolaX battery and a 4kW Solar PV system with JA Solar JAP60S-1-275 panels with an annual panel degradation of 0.5%, installed in April 2019 in the South of England, at a capex of £8,495. Factors include: customer annual electricity consumption of 4000kWh, annual solar generation of 3800kWh, on-site solar usage of 26% (based upon BPVA studies), initial electricity unit rate of 16.45p/kWh with annual electricity inflation of 7.03% (Based upon approved data from the National Office of Statistics). These figures include Social Energy benefits from self-consumption, FFR, grid trading, network avoidance and SE export payment of 5.6p/kWh. Returns include factoring in future forecasted costs of battery system overhaul and solar inverter replacements at year 15. Considering the above factors, the specified system delivers a net benefit of £31,022.30. These calculations demonstrate a 365% ROI for Social Energy.
