Is Your Property Suitable?
South-facing roofs with a pitch of between 30 and 40 degrees receive the most sunlight in the UK, but east and west-facing installations still generate meaningful electricity. An MCS-accredited installer will assess your roof's orientation, shading, and structural condition before recommending a system. Flat roofs can also be used with angled mounting frames.
Costs, Savings, and the Smart Export Guarantee
A typical domestic solar system costs between £5,000 and £12,000 depending on size and whether battery storage is included. Most UK homeowners achieve payback within 8 to 12 years. The Smart Export Guarantee allows you to sell surplus electricity back to the grid — only MCS-accredited systems qualify.
Milton Keynes is a new city in Buckinghamshire, planned and built from the late 1960s onwards. Famous for its grid road system, roundabouts, and concrete cows art installation. Bletchley Park, the World War II codebreaking centre, is a major heritage attraction within the city. MK Dons FC represents the city in the Football League. The city is one of the fastest-growing in the UK.
Why MCS Accreditation Matters
Any installer you use should be registered with the Microgeneration Certification Scheme. This is required for Smart Export Guarantee eligibility and also provides you with a meaningful benchmark of installer quality and accountability.
