Solar panels in Whetstone: the quick answer
The Energy Saving Trust says domestic solar systems are generally around 4.5kWp and cost around £7,600 (page updated 1 October 2026); your own price depends on your roof, access and whether you add a battery. Solar panels and batteries fitted to homes are 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%, and an MCS-certified installation lets you claim Smart Export Guarantee payments for the power you export.
