Discover your home’s energy saving potential with our solar calculator

Find out how many solar panels you can get on your home, what it will cost you, and how much you stand to save.

Our new Solar Panel Calculator provides users with an accurate assessment of how much it will cost to get solar panels, along with how much they can save in one year and over the decades.

If you are located within an urban area, the calculator can even provide a rapid assessment of your roof that will tell you how suitable it is for solar panels.

Everything from the roof space available for solar panels, the roof angle, and the best orientation is used to calculate the best solar PV system for you.

Are ground-mounted solar panels right for you?

The majority of homes and businesses will install solar panels on their rooftops. But for those without space, or an unsuitable roof, ground-mounted solar panels make an excellent alternative.

Here, our guide explains the basics of a solar PV system based on the ground, and how to make sure that it’s done right.
