Takes about a minute to start. OVO handles quote details and suitability checks.
Solar panel costs depend on the system design, installation work and whether you add a battery. Use averages only as a starting point, then ask for a quote that separates each cost.
Core system
Panels, inverter, mounting, cabling and commissioning.
Installation work
Scaffolding, roof access and electrical changes can affect price.
Battery option
A battery can improve self-use but adds a separate cost and should be tested separately.
What should be itemised
Ask for a breakdown that separates panels, inverter, battery, scaffolding, labour, electrical work and paperwork. The goal is to compare like with like.
- System size in kWp
- Panel and inverter model
- Battery usable capacity
- Scaffolding and access
- Electrical upgrades
- VAT treatment
- Monitoring and warranties
How to compare two quotes
Check whether both quotes assume the same export rate, self-consumption level and battery setup. A cheaper quote may simply be a smaller system or exclude work you still need.
