Solar PV installation
See what solar really generates on a Leeds roof.
Solar runs on daylight, not sunshine – so it works up here more than most people expect. We'll show you the honest numbers for your roof, design a system that fits it, and handle the paperwork. No sales visit, no pressure.
If your electricity bills feel like they only ever go one way, solar is the one upgrade that puts some of that back in your hands – you generate power on your own roof and buy less from the grid. The question everyone in Yorkshire asks first is "does it actually work up here?" Fair question. Here's the data.
How it works
One team, survey to switch-on.
A proper survey – not a sales visit
We look at your roof, shading, and how you actually use energy. You get honest numbers, not a pitch.
We design the system for your roof
Orientation, pitch and shading all change the maths – so your design is built for your home, not a package off a shelf.
We install it and handle the paperwork
The same local team fits it, and we manage the DNO grid notification (the bit that connects you to the network) for you.
Switch-on, then we're still here
You'll reach the same people afterwards – one point of contact across solar, battery, EV and electrics.
Real Leeds yield data
850–950 kWh per kWp, every year
Here's the honest number most installers skip. A well-placed solar array in Leeds generates roughly 850–950 kWh – kilowatt-hours, the units on your electricity bill – for every kWp (kilowatt-peak, the rated size of the system) you fit, each year. So a typical 4kWp system produces around 3,400–3,650 kWh a year – enough to cover a good slice of a typical home's electricity. Solar runs on daylight, not direct sun, so your panels still generate on a grey day – and they actually run a little more efficiently when it's cool. Output does drop in deep winter (down to roughly a tenth of a bright summer's day), which is exactly why we'll talk to you about a battery and, in time, exporting your surplus.
These figures are estimates, not a guarantee – actual results depend on your property, energy use and tariff. We'll show you the numbers for your home after a survey. Assumptions: south-facing, 30–35° pitch, unshaded; a site-specific figure needs an MCS-standard survey. Source: MCS irradiance standard MIS 3002 / PVGIS, Yorkshire region. Leeds solar yield of ~850–950 kWh per kWp per year is industry data (MCS irradiance standard MIS 3002 / PVGIS) for an optimally-oriented, unshaded system – not our own measured result.
The resale angle
There's a resale angle too, and we'll only put it to you honestly:
Solar can add around 6.1–7.1% to a property's value (roughly £14,000–£16,000 on a typical home). Source: 2024 study in Energy Economics analysing ~1.5 million UK transactions (Swansea & Birmingham universities). Applies to owned systems only; individual results vary.
How our pricing works →Make every kWh work harder
The more of your own solar you use, the more it's worth – a typical home uses about 30% of what it generates without storage, and adding a battery can lift that to 70–90%. Your surplus can earn export payments too: our solar installs are MCS-certified (NAPIT certificate NAP/75199/25/2), which is exactly what Smart Export Guarantee registration needs – suppliers set their own rates, and we sort the certification paperwork with your handover.
These figures are estimates, not a guarantee – actual results depend on your property, energy use and tariff. We'll show you the numbers for your home after a survey. Assumptions: industry-typical self-consumption ranges; your figure depends on usage and system size. Source: industry self-consumption data. Leeds solar yield of ~850–950 kWh per kWp per year is industry data (MCS irradiance standard MIS 3002 / PVGIS) for an optimally-oriented, unshaded system – not our own measured result.

Your estimate
Answer a couple of questions to see an estimated range for a home like yours.
Capped at your current electricity spend – an estimate can't save more than you pay.
How we worked this out
Electricity unit rate: 26.11p per kWh – based on the current Ofgem price-cap electricity unit rate (Ofgem energy price cap, 1 Jul – 30 Sep 2026 (announced 27 May 2026); updated 1 July 2026). The cap changes quarterly, so this assumption is refreshed and re-dated when it does.
Solar yield: 850–950 kWh per kWp per year (MCS irradiance standard MIS 3002 / PVGIS, Yorkshire; optimally-oriented, unshaded – industry data, not our measured result). Self-consumption without storage: 30–50%; with a battery: 70–90% (cited industry ranges). Heat-pump efficiency: SCOP 2.5–3.5 typical (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance – real seasonal efficiency, not lab COP), toward 4.0–4.5 with underfloor heating in well-insulated homes.
These figures are estimates, not a guarantee – actual results depend on your property, energy use and tariff. We'll show you the numbers for your home after a survey. Assumptions: typical system sizing by property type; Leeds/Yorkshire yield 850–950 kWh per kWp per year (optimally-oriented, unshaded; ~825+ east/west or part-shaded); 30–50% of generation used at home (70–90% with a battery); current Ofgem price-cap unit rate (updated 1 July 2026); standing charges still apply. Source: MCS irradiance standard MIS 3002 / PVGIS; Ofgem (unit rate). Leeds solar yield of ~850–950 kWh per kWp per year is industry data (MCS irradiance standard MIS 3002 / PVGIS) for an optimally-oriented, unshaded system – not our own measured result.
Honest pricing
Every roof is different, so we won't pretend there's one price.
Guide price bands are on their way. We only publish figures that are achievable in practice, so we're confirming them before they go live. Prices shown will be indicative – your firm quote follows a home survey.
0% VAT applies to qualifying energy-saving materials (solar, battery, heat pumps) until 31 March 2027, after which the reduced rate of 5% applies (HMRC VAT Notice 708/6).

Questions we hear a lot
Does solar really work in Leeds?
Yes – it runs on daylight, not direct sun, so you generate on dull days too. A 4kWp system here makes roughly 3,400–3,650 kWh a year (based on MCS irradiance data for Yorkshire; your survey gives the figure for your actual roof).
How long until it pays back?
It depends on your usage, tariff and roof – so we show you a range for your home, never a single promise. Pairing a battery usually shortens it by letting you use more of what you make.
Is the 0% VAT permanent?
No – 0% VAT applies to qualifying energy-saving materials (solar, battery, heat pumps) until 31 March 2027, after which the reduced rate of 5% applies (HMRC VAT Notice 708/6).
Who leads the install?
One accountable team leads your install from survey to switch-on – and you reach the same people afterwards.
