How Much Can I Save with Solar Panels in Newcastle?

Solar panels offer immediate savings from the moment your system goes live. By generating your own electricity, you reduce your grid usage, lower your bills, and earn extra income for any power you export through the Smart Export Guarantee. Adding a battery increases your return even further by allowing you to use more of your self-generated energy during peak-rate times. The figures below are based on an import rate of 24p/kWh and an export rate of 15p/kWh, using performance data typical from systems installed by our solar installers in the Newcastle area.

Note: A typical household using around 2,700 kWh annually will see bill savings capped near £648 per year at the given import rate, with any additional benefit from SEG export payments. A standard six-panel solar system usually starts at about £4,995 and can deliver meaningful long-term benefits. Homeowners typically see annual savings of roughly £555 on their energy bills, which works out to an estimated return on investment of around 11% each year. With these savings, most people recover their upfront cost within eight to nine years. After that, the system continues generating clean, renewable energy for 25 years or more, offering excellent lifetime value. As tariffs continue to rise, your system becomes even more cost-effective, with payback periods shortening naturally over time.
