The UK receives about 60% of the solar radiation found near the equator – more than enough for solar panels to be highly effective. Solar PV panels work on daylight, not direct sunlight, so even cloudy days generate power. A typical home solar system can reduce your annual electricity bill by 50-70%. Solar power also increases your home’s value and reduces your carbon footprint. With the Smart Export Guarantee, you can earn money for surplus electricity you send back to the grid.
How Solar Panels Work
Solar photovoltaic panels contain silicon cells that convert sunlight into DC electricity. An inverter converts this to AC electricity for your home. Excess power goes to the National Grid (earnings via SEG) or into battery storage for evening use. Adding battery storage can push self-consumption to 70-80%, maximising your savings.
Is My Home Suitable for Solar Panels?
Most UK homes are suitable. Your roof should ideally face south, south-west, or south-east with a 30-40 degree pitch. A 4kW system needs about 25-30 sqm of roof space. Your roof should be in good condition and not heavily shaded. Book a free site survey with Solar Dream for a personalised assessment.

A typical installation costs £5,000-£8,000. Solar Dream offers 0% APR finance over 12, 24, or 36 months with no interest, no hidden fees, and no early repayment penalties. Start saving immediately while paying in manageable monthly instalments.
