What Affects the Cost?

Solar installation costs in Fareham depend on system size (kW capacity), number of panels, roof pitch and condition, roof material (tile, slate, flat), structural work required, and distance from the main electrical panel. East or west-facing roofs often cost slightly more due to additional bracketing. Access difficulty, scaffolding needs, and local labour rates also influence pricing. South East positioning adds 15–25% to national averages.

Money-Saving Tips

Book early winter surveys for competitive quotes. Consider a 4–5 kW system matching your usage to maximise SEG (Smart Export Guarantee) returns. Ask installers about current 0% VAT on residential solar, bulk supplier discounts, and phased installations if budget is tight.
