Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic or PV panels, convert daylight into electricity. That electricity can be used directly in your home to power your appliances, lighting and heating. Any surplus that you don’t use can be exported back to the National Grid.
Panels do not need direct sunshine to work. They generate electricity from daylight, which means they produce useful output even on cloudy days. Output is lower in winter than in summer, but a well-specified system generates electricity throughout the year.
The main financial support available for solar panels in the UK is the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). This scheme requires licensed electricity suppliers to pay homeowners for any surplus electricity they export to the grid. Rates and payment terms vary between suppliers, so it is worth comparing options.
VAT on residential solar panel installations is currently zero-rated in the UK, making the upfront cost more manageable than it was in previous years. There is currently no direct government grant specifically for solar panels in England, though this may change as energy policy continues to evolve.
