A typical 8-panel south-facing solar PV system in Croydon can comfortably exceed the annual electricity consumption of the average UK household, especially when paired with efficient energy usage habits and optional battery storage.
The breakeven period for a solar panel installation can vary depending on several key factors:
In ideal conditions — such as high energy consumption, a well-positioned roof, and battery integration — customers can achieve payback in as little as 4 years.
For homes with lower energy usage or less optimal conditions, breakeven typically falls between 6 to 9 years, with most Croydon customers seeing returns around 6–7 years.
Battery systems, when combined with smart tariff management, can significantly accelerate ROI even in less-than-perfect conditions.
Here’s a recent installation we completed in the Croydon area:
System Size: 13 panels West 440″, 9 panels East 440W
Key Components: 8.8kW hybrid inverter, 16.1kWh of battery storage. 8.8kw inverter.
Installation Type: Integrated panel system on a pre-tiled roof
Total Cost: £22,550 (including full system and installation)
Energy Output: 9,192 kWh annually
Roof Orientation: Combination of easterly and southerly aspects, across both pitched and flat roof areas
Estimated ROI: 19%
Estimated Payback Period: Just over 5 years
This project is a great example of how well-designed systems — even across mixed roof orientations — can still produce excellent results in terms of both energy savings and return on investment.

Yes. The South-East typically receives more sunlight than cities further north in the UK
Most homes in Croydon do not require planning permission, but if you live in a conservation area, own a listed property, permissions may be needed. We can help guide you with this process.
Absolutely. Many installations are on such properties. We design systems tailored to your roof shape, size, and orientation.
A typical home needs roughly 15–25m² of usable roof space for a standard residential system. We’ll measure and assess this during your free consultation.
You’ll need freeholder or building management approval for a flat installation. For top-floor flats with roof access, individual systems may still be viable — we can explore options for shared systems too.
Yes — although there are advantages to doing the system all at the same time to plan the most effective solution.
Most residential installations take 1–2 days. More complex setups (e.g., integrated panels, battery systems, or split roofs) may take slightly longer — but we always aim for minimal disruption.
Yes — we’re based in Bromley and carry out the majority of our installations across Greater London and the South-East. As a local team, we understand London properties, and customer needs.
