Get Free QuotesHow do I compare solar panel prices?
Compare solar prices using these metrics: (1) Cost per kWp: £1,300-£1,800 is the fair UK range. Under £1,100 = suspiciously cheap. Above £2,000 = overpriced. (2) Panel efficiency and brand. (3) Inverter type and warranty. (4) What is included vs excluded (scaffolding, MCS, DNO). (5) Installer reviews (Trustpilot + Google). (6) Insurance-Backed Guarantee. (7) Total estimated savings (realistic?). The cheapest quote often has weaker components and shorter warranties — costing you more over 25 years.
