The UK energy landscape has reached a turning point. Over the last 15 years, Solar PV has evolved from a niche "early adopter" technology into a proven, high performance asset for the modern home.
With over 1.5 million UK homes already generating their own power, we are moving past the first generation of solar. Today, Solar PV isn't just an "eco friendly" choice, it is a sophisticated financial strategy to protect your household from volatile energy markets.
At Energy Giants, we help you move from being an energy consumer to an energy producer.
While only 5% of UK homes currently utilise solar, that number is accelerating. As we approach 30 million homes nationwide, the "wait and see" period is over. The technology is optimised, the warranties are robust, and the returns are clear.
Solar panels turn UV rays into electricity using photovoltaics (PV). Even on cloudy UK days, they still generate power because they use light, not heat.
Solar PV reduces the electricity you buy from the day it is switched on, and it gives you some protection from future price rises. How much it saves depends on your roof, your usage and your tariff, so we give you a figure for your own property at the survey.
The best time is as soon as you're ready, the financial benefits start the moment the system is switched on.
Generate your own electricity and reduce what you buy from the grid each month. How much depends on your roof, your usage and your tariff.
Panels are built to keep generating for decades, so what you make on the roof is electricity you are not buying.
Power your home with clean, renewable energy and shrink your household carbon footprint.
Buyers are attracted to lower running costs and a better EPC rating.
Store power generated by day and use it at night. Charging overnight at a lower rate and using it at peak times is only possible if you are on a flexible electricity tariff with time of use pricing.*
Get paid for surplus electricity you send back to the grid. Shop around utility companies for the best export rates.
We assess your roof orientation, shading and usage, then design a system around it.
A clear, no obligation quote with expected savings and payback, no jargon.
Our team fits your panels safely, cleanly and on schedule.
We handle commissioning and paperwork so you start generating from day one.
The products we install
The panels and batteries we fit, chosen for warranty, build quality and how they behave on a real roof. Every one has its own page or a case study behind it.
Four typical jobs with indicative ranges, VAT at 0%, what moves the price, and payback worked through on a real Wilpshire install with the assumptions showing.

Sizing against your evenings rather than your roof, Sigenergy, Fox ESS and Tesla, adding a battery to panels you already have, and what a battery does to your tariff.

South facing, split, east facing and shaded by trees. Every case study shows the system, the photos and what it is expected to save.
Our workmanship on every solar, battery and heat pump installation is covered by a two year insurance backed workmanship warranty through Bluedrop Services, underwritten by Financial & Legal Insurance Company Ltd. The equipment itself carries its own manufacturer guarantee, and the term for each item is stated on your quote. It holds even if the installer did not, and it transfers to the next owner if you sell.
Aiko panels carry up to a 30 year performance warranty and a 15 year product warranty. The Sigenergy SigenStor, Fox ESS inverters and batteries and the Tesla Powerwall 3 carry ten year warranties. Every term is stated on your quote, per component.
An electrical installation certificate under BS 7671, the G98 or G99 acknowledgement from the network operator, and the guarantee certificate, all in your handover pack within seven days.
Absolutely, solar works far better in the UK than most people expect. The idea that the UK is "too cloudy" is a myth. It's UV rays that power the panels, not direct sunlight, so they work through clouds too.
Yes. The main route is the Warm Homes Plan, which can fund solar, insulation and heating upgrades for qualifying households. Some local councils offer extra support through LA Flex. If you don't qualify, all residential solar, battery and insulation installations are zero rated for VAT until March 2027, saving £1,000 to £2,000 on a typical system.
We use an online platform to locate your house and provisionally see how many panels can be installed. We also attend the property to confirm in person to make sure you receive the best survey possible.
This depends on the number of panels, size of battery, size of inverter and the manufacturers of the components. Prices start from £3,000.
Most Solar PV systems benefit from a battery to store energy generated but not used immediately. The battery can also be charged overnight and used during peak hours, but only if you are on a flexible electricity tariff with time of use pricing. Not all systems benefit financially, which is assessed during the onsite survey.
Typical payback is from 4 years onwards, depending on the size of the system, orientation and shading, how much of the electricity you use yourself, the cost of the system and your tariff. These are estimates; your surveyor will give you a figure for your own property.*
South facing roofs maximise output, but east/west roofs still perform well. During your free survey we check orientation, pitch, shading and structure, then design a system to suit.
For most homes, no. Solar panels are usually classed as Permitted Development. Conditions include: panels don't protrude more than 200mm from the roof surface, your home is not listed, and you're not in a conservation area.
Monocrystalline solar panels are the best overall choice for homes, highest efficiency, longest lifespan, and best performance in low light conditions, which matters in the UK's climate.
The panels we fit carry a manufacturer performance warranty of 25 years or more, and typically keep generating beyond it with a gradual loss of efficiency. The exact warranty for your panels is stated on your quote.
In roof panels replace the tiles and sit flush, they're more aesthetically pleasing and just as efficient. On roof panels sit above the tiles on rails. If you're getting a new roof, in roof is actually cheaper per square foot than tiles.
Yes, you liaise with a utility company to set up an export tariff. The company paying you doesn't have to be your current energy supplier, so you can shop around for the best rates.
Solar can make a property more attractive to buyers through lower running costs and a better EPC rating. Any effect on the sale price depends on the property, the system and the local market, so we do not put a figure on it.

Same panels, same electricity, twenty five times the difference in what somebody pays you for it. And every rate above 15p has one thing in common.
New rules let you buy a solar kit off a shelf and plug it into a socket. What it will do, what it will not, and the paperwork nobody is mentioning.
Fitted between 2011 and 2019 with no storage? Your roof has been giving most of it away. Whether you can add a battery is a narrower question than people assume.
