How Much Does a 2 kW Solar Panel System Cost?

The regular 2 kW solar panel system, requiring 14 m2 roof space usually starts at around £2,500 in the UK. However, an experienced supplier can determine the final price by taking into consideration the size of your roof and everything that could possibly complicate the installation. Anyways, a 2 kW PV solar panel system is likely going to require an investment of around £3,500 for both purchasing and installing.

How Can I Maximise Efficiency?

The efficiency of any solar panel system is strongly linked to its geographical location and the angling of your roof (or the installation surface, in case it’s not your roof). However, any installer with experience should be able to determine the best possible placement for your solar panels. Keep in mind that any trees or buildings shading over your roof will prevent your panels from realizing their full potential. 

It's also important to note that storing energy will decrease the amount of sunlight you waste. This is why solar batteries are important. You can check our comprehensive reviews to see our candidates for the best solar battery storage in the UK.

How Can I Make a Profit with My Solar Panels?
