The DIY Solar Revolution Is Coming

Europe proved the model. The UK is next. Entry DIY systems start from £499, while typical rooftop solar often starts around £6,000.

  • Big market shift: low-entry DIY vs high-cost traditional installs
  • Typical DIY install time: around 2 to 4 hours for a standard starter setup
  • Renter-friendly option: removable, relocatable hardware for future moves
  • Fence, balcony, and ground-mount first
  • Detailed specs and legislation moved to dedicated pages
