UK solar quotes, grants and payback
Work out whether solar could fit your home.
Solar can lower bills for some homes, but the answer depends on your roof, daytime electricity use, battery choice, export tariff and installed cost. Here4Solar explains the moving parts in plain English before you ask for a quote.

Takes about a minute to start. OVO handles quote details and suitability checks.
Is my roof suitable?
Direction, shade, roof condition and usable space affect how many panels can be fitted and how much electricity they may generate.
What will it cost?
A useful quote should separate panels, inverter, scaffolding, electrical work, battery options and any assumptions about VAT.
Will it pay back?
Payback depends on how much solar electricity you use at home, what you export, and whether a battery changes the calculation.
A consumer-first way to compare solar
Start with your household rather than a headline saving claim. Write down your annual electricity use, when you are usually at home, whether you expect to buy an EV or heat pump, and whether you want a battery.
Then ask each provider to explain the same things: system size in kWp, expected annual generation, installed cost, battery cost, export assumptions, warranties and what happens if your roof or electrics need extra work.
- Use the calculator to test broad payback.
- Treat grant claims as eligibility questions, not promises.
- Ask for a personalised home quote before comparing prices.
- Keep panels, battery and export tariff assumptions separate.
