Solar by Property Type UK

Solar by property type
Solar works on all UK property types — system size adapts to available roof space.

Which property types suit solar?

Solar by UK property type: DETACHED (5+ bed): 5-8kW, 13-20 panels, best roof space, £6,500-£14,000, no neighbour issues. SEMI-DETACHED (3-4 bed): 4-5kW, 10-13 panels, very good, £5,500-£9,500. TERRACED (2-3 bed): 3-4kW, 8-10 panels, good, £4,500-£8,000, may need micro-inverters for shading. BUNGALOW (2-3 bed): 3-5kW, 8-13 panels, excellent (low, accessible, often south-facing), £4,500-£9,000. FLAT: limited (usually no private roof — consider community solar or portable panels). Every house type delivers positive ROI — only size differs.
