Are solar panels worth it in the UK?
For most homes, yes — with 0% VAT until March 2027, typical payback of 10–15 years and a 25-year panel guarantee, solar is a solid long-term investment, though the exact numbers depend on your roof and how much power you use during the day.
How much do solar panels cost?
A typical 4kWp system for a 3-bedroom home costs around £6,000–£8,000 fully installed in 2026, or £10,000–£14,000 with battery storage. A free survey gives you an exact figure for your roof.
Does Maya Solar install the panels?
No — we're an independent, jargon-free guide. We explain solar in plain English and match you with vetted, MCS-certified installers who carry out the survey and installation.
