Solar Panels.
Take control of your energy bills and transform your home with solar energy. Save money, reduce your carbon footprint, and gain energy independence.
Product overview
Harness the power of the sun and transform your energy usage. Solar panels provide a clean, efficient, and sustainable solution for both residential and commercial properties. These systems not only reduce your carbon footprint but also significantly lower your energy costs, often delivering an excellent return on investment.
Year-Round Reliability
Our advanced solar technology is designed to maximise electricity output, ensuring reliable energy even on cloudy days. At McConnells Green, we tailor each installation to meet your specific needs, striving to exceed your expectations every time.
Access a variety of benefits.
02
Government Incentives
Take advantage of zero VAT and the Smart Energy Guarantee (SEG) for solar panel installations. These incentives reduce the initial cost of your system and improve the return on your investment.
03
Increased Property Value
Homes and businesses with solar panel installations often see an improved Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) which will usually increase your property value. Solar energy systems are attractive features for potential buyers.
04
Long Warranties
With performance warranties in excess of 25 years you can be confident that your system will perform reliably for decades to come.
05
Energy Independence
Generate your own electricity and reduce your dependence on the grid. This independence protects you from rising energy prices and can even protect you from supply interruptions.
06
Works all year round
With technology designed to maximise output, solar panels provide a reliable energy source even on cloudy days. This consistency ensures you are always saving.
07
Low investment cost
With installations from £4000 you can go green without breaking the bank.
08
Finance available
With finance your system could truly pay for itself. Ask for details.
09
Low Maintenance
Solar panels require minimal maintenance, making them a hassle-free addition to your property.
10
Environmental Impact
By using solar energy, you decrease your carbon footprint and
contribute to a cleaner, greener planet. Solar power is a renewable resource that reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
Smart energy Guarantee
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is a government-backed initiative designed to reward you for the excess solar electricity which is exported back to the grid. Under the SEG, all energy suppliers with over 150,000 customers are required to offer export tariffs to their customers. This means that any surplus energy your solar system produces will earn you money, providing an additional financial benefit alongside your energy savings.
We can help you navigate the SEG process, ensuring that you get the best possible rates for your exported electricity and make the most out of your renewable energy system.
Battery Storage
Combine your solar system with batteries to increase your return on investment. While your solar panels will be at their best during the day, electricity is often most heavily used during the evening. Batteries can help correct this mismatch enabling you to utilise more of your solar generated electricity, reducing your bills further. Talk to us about your electricity usage and we can determine whether a battery is right for you.
Can I have a battery without solar?
Definitely, you don’t need solar panels to take advantage of a battery installation with a great return on investment. Some homes are not best suited to solar but have high electricity bills. If you have access to attractive overnight tariffs, for instance if you have an Electric Vehicle (EV) then you can “force charge” your batteries overnight and drawdown this cheap energy throughout the day making a substantial saving.
Understanding Solar Warranties
Solar PV warranties are complex, with offerings of 30 years, 15 years and 5 years seemingly all relevant to one product. McConnells Green can demystify this confusing information and help you understand which product is right for you. In a nutshell you need to be aware of Performance Warranties, Product Warranties and labour warranties.

Frequently asked questions.
How many solar panels do I need?
This is very much dependant on your energy usage and your property. In recent years panel efficiency has significantly improved so you will need fewer panels to achieve the same output.
An average consuming around 3,500 kWh per year might need between about 3kW of power, which could be 6-8 panels.
Do I need batteries?
Batteries are not necessary for solar panels to work but are becoming more popular as they enable you to store the electricity you generate rather than exporting it onto the national grid. Whether the battery makes sense for you depends on your energy usage pattern and the import/export electricity tariffs available to you.
Do solar panels and batteries pay back?
Yes, with rising electricity costs and the advent of special solar electricity tariffs, solar panels can pay back their cost very quickly through reduced electricity bills and potential earnings from smart export schemes. The payback period can vary but is usually between 6 to 12 years, depending on your property.
Does my roof need to be south facing?
While south-facing roofs are ideal in the UK because they receive the most sunlight throughout the day, east, west and even north-facing roofs can also be viable on the right property. For instance, an east-west configuration can create consistent and therefore more useful electricity through the day than large south facing roofs.
Can I buy now and use the savings to pay back a loan?
Yes, it’s possible to finance solar panels through a loan and use the savings to pay off the loan. Talk to us about finance but please be aware that lenders usually require that you are able to afford the repayments without any estimated savings.
