At LA Electrical & Solar, we specialise in integrating solar power systems into new build homes. Our team of experts works closely with architects, builders, and homeowners to design and install solar solutions that meet the specific needs of each project. We handle every aspect of the process, from initial consultation to final installation, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
Incorporating solar power into your new build is a smart investment, combining energy efficiency, sustainability, and financial benefits. By generating your own electricity, you can reduce utility bills, lower your carbon footprint, and increase your home’s value, all while contributing to a greener future.
The more solar panels you have installed, the more energy they’ll be able to generate for your home. The number of solar panels you’ll need will depend on your energy usage, the number of people in your home and the size of your property.
A typical family home using 3500kW/h/year will need a 3-4kWp Solar System. This will need around 20-25m2 of space.
The cost of a solar panel system will vary depending on several factors, such as how many panels are needed, so it’s tough to give an exact price but on the whole, solar panels are around 70% cheaper than they were in 2010.
An average home of 3 people needing a 3kWh PV system will cost around £5,000-£6,000. Paying back in around 6 Years.
Once your solar panels have been installed, there are small maintenance checks that you’ll need to do from time to time but, on the whole, solar panel maintenance is fairly minimal.
As with the solar system the cost of batteries will vary depending on several factors, including the size of battery, so it’s tough to give an exact price.
A 5kWh battery system will add around £3,000 to your installation costs.
A battery system and it’s accompanying inverter or solar inverter will typically need space of around 1.5-2m height, 600cm width and 40cm depth.
You’ll also need some space around the inverter for cooling and ventilation.
Most systems are able to be placed outside.
