Solar Yield blog
These articles answer the questions people ask before they buy solar panels. Each one checks its numbers against primary sources, because you should see where each figure comes from.
Most posts link to a city page or a service guide, while the FAQs give short answers. Start with output if you are new to solar, then read about costs and batteries.
Each post names its sources in the text, and the figures link to the page that published them. For example, output figures come from PVGIS, while price cap figures come from Ofgem.
The date under each title shows when we last reviewed the post, because prices and rules change over time. If you spot an out-of-date figure, the complaints and corrections page explains how to tell us.
Solar Yield is an independent estimator and enquiry-referral service, not an installer, lender or broker. We write these articles to help you ask better questions. We never rank an installer or promise a saving.
Every article ends with short answers to common questions, so you can scan for what you need first. We also add a link to our enquiry form where it helps.
Every article also lists the official pages we used. Use the links to reach the calculator or a city page, since both turn the general advice into numbers for your home.
