*Scaffolding is extra. For a typical two-storey house, UK solar scaffolding is often £700 - £2,000 (Sunsave, June 2026). Three-storey or restricted access costs more. We quote it after survey.
10 high-efficiency panels delivering 4.6 kWp. 15-year product warranty and 30-year performance guarantee for reliable, long-term energy production.
Seamless power conversion with cutting-edge reliability. Backed by a 5-year warranty.
Two Fox ESS EP5 modules: 5.18 kWh each, 10.36 kWh total, about 9.3 kWh usable at 90% depth of discharge (Fox ESS EP5 datasheet V1.6). 10-year warranty.
Based on a 10-panel (4.6 kWp) system. Avoided import uses the Ofgem Direct Debit average of 26.32p/kWh (1 October to 31 December 2026). Exported units are valued at Outgoing Octopus 12p/kWh from 1 March 2026, not at the import rate. With two EP5s we assume 70% of generation is used on site and 30% is exported. Payback uses the £7,300 kit price; scaffolding is extra and lengthens it.
