But don t forget with the fit almost disappearing in january 2016 maximising value from your solar setup is now just a question of maximising the energy it can generate.
Power generated by a 4kwp solar panel system.
Uk firm s solar power breakthrough could make world s most efficient panels by 2021 oxford pv says tech based on perovskite crystal can generate almost a third more electricity jillian ambrose.
Of course installation is slightly pricier.
A 4kw solar panel system will cost you around 5 000 but if installed by an mcs certified supplier it will save you up to 870 a year.
Most homes will install several solar panels known as a solar panel system.
4kwp is around 5500 7800 and 5kwp works out at about 1k more.
A typical 3 4 bedroom house will require a 3 4kwp solar panel system typically composed of 12 16 solar panels.
The electricity generated by a solar pv system is governed by its rated power output but it s also dependent on other factors such as panel efficiency and temperature sensitivity as well as the degree of shading that the system experiences and the tilt angle and azimuth of the roof on which it s installed.
So you d be crazy not to consider going larger.
Annually a 4kw solar panel system will generate enough electricity to meet the needs of a regular uk family.
Wattage can be as low as 240 watts for cheaper panels to over 300 watts for the more expensive options.
