Why it adds up
A well-designed home solar system helps you generate clean electricity through the day, buy less from the grid and reduce your exposure to future electricity-price increases. Better still, many homeowners earn payments from their energy supplier through the Smart Export Guarantee for the electricity they send back. Add battery storage and you can make even more of what your panels produce, giving you a little more independence from the grid.

Solar panels for homes and businesses
Solar isn’t just for houses. For businesses across Cambridgeshire, a well-planned system can trim running costs, reduce reliance on grid electricity and support your sustainability goals, while keeping disruption to the day-to-day running of your building to a minimum.
We design commercial systems around how your premises actually use energy, so the setup matches your day-to-day demand. Whether you’re fitting panels to a warehouse, office or retail unit, we’ll provide clear guidance on cost, expected output and likely payback before you commit.
What does a solar panel installation cost?
As a guide, a typical 6kWp solar PV system with 10kWh of battery storage starts from around £11,000 installed, including scaffolding. The final cost depends on the roof layout, equipment specification and any additional electrical work required. Qualifying residential installations currently benefit from 0% VAT. We’ll also explain any relevant incentives and export arrangements.
Frequently asked questions
Still unsure? Call 01223 646 462 or email gogreener@infiniteheating.com. We are here to help.
How much does a solar PV and battery system cost?
The final cost depends on the roof layout, equipment specification, battery capacity and any additional electrical work required. We’ll provide an itemised proposal tailored to your property.
How much could I save, and what is the likely payback period?
Homes with higher daytime consumption or battery storage may achieve faster returns. Your proposal will include estimated annual generation, potential savings and an indicative payback period based on the available information.
Is battery storage worthwhile, and what size battery might I need?
The appropriate capacity depends on your electricity use, solar array and lifestyle. Batteries between 5kWh and 15kWh are common for family homes, but we’ll recommend a size based on your expected generation and consumption.
Can I add battery storage to an existing solar system?
We’ll assess the existing panels, inverter and electrical installation before recommending a compatible battery setup.
How long does a solar installation take?
Larger systems, complicated roof layouts or installations requiring additional electrical work may take longer. We’ll confirm the expected programme before installation begins.
Do I need planning permission or DNO approval?
Additional restrictions may apply to listed buildings, conservation areas and certain roof types. The local Distribution Network Operator may also need to approve or be notified about the proposed system. We’ll advise on planning considerations and manage the relevant DNO process.
Do solar panels work in winter and cloudy weather?
Generation is lower during winter and overcast conditions, but the system will continue producing electricity throughout the year.
Can I receive payments for surplus electricity?
Depending on your supplier and tariff, you may receive payments through an export arrangement such as the Smart Export Guarantee. Rates and eligibility vary, but we’ll provide the installation documentation needed to apply.
How long do solar panels and batteries last?
Battery warranties typically range from 10 to 15 years, depending on the manufacturer, usage and product selected.
Will solar panels work during a power cut?
Selected battery systems can be designed with backup functionality to supply specific circuits during an outage. This needs to be planned as part of the system design and is not included automatically.
Do solar panels require maintenance?
We recommend periodic visual and performance checks, with cleaning where necessary, to identify damage or reductions in output. Our Infinite Care team can provide ongoing inspection and maintenance.
Can solar panels help power an EV or heat pump?
The benefit depends on when electricity is generated and consumed, as well as the size of the solar and battery system. We can consider these technologies together when designing your installation.
