Domestic Solar Panel Installation — Project 5

Greater Manchester

Another domestic solar PV installation completed by Manchester Renewables on a home in Greater Manchester. Panels were fitted to the roof in a single day, with the system designed to offset the majority of the household's daytime electricity usage.

As with all our residential projects, the homeowner received a free survey, a bespoke system design, professional installation by our in-house electricians, and full MCS certification. The monitoring app was set up before we left so they could start tracking generation straight away.

With electricity prices showing no sign of dropping, more Manchester homeowners are choosing solar as a long-term investment. A well-sized system pays for itself in 5-7 years and then delivers free electricity for another two decades.

Common Questions

How quickly will I see savings?
Immediately. Your solar panels start generating electricity from the first day, reducing what you draw from the grid. Most homeowners notice a significant drop in their electricity bill within the first month.
What happens on cloudy days?
Modern solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine. Output is lower on overcast days, but your system will still produce energy. Manchester receives enough solar irradiance to make panels a worthwhile investment year-round.
Can I monitor how much electricity my panels generate?
Yes. We set up the manufacturer's monitoring app during handover so you can track generation, consumption, and export in real time from your phone.
How much does a domestic solar installation cost?
With our standard Fox ESS hybrid inverter and 11.5kWh battery, a typical 4kW system costs £7,500–£8,000 and larger 5–6kW systems £8,000–£9,000, all including 0% VAT. Without a battery, take £3,000 off. All prices include scaffolding, installation and MCS certification, and our solar savings calculator gives a guide price for your own roof.
