Residential solar boosts house prices by average of £30,000

According to new research residential solar panels boost house prices by an average of £30,000. The research comes from EffectiveHome.co.uk, a website dedicated to providing information and guidance for homeowners regarding solar. It found that installing solar PV can increase house prices by an average of £32,459 across the UK. Houses in London see the biggest increase, with the value jumping by £90,000, followed by Bristol (£45,142), Edinburgh (£40,095) and Leicester (£31,577).

The value is created in the ability to save on energy bills – particularly as these have increased by 37% on average during lockdown – as well as the ability to sell surplus generation back to the grid. For more information please visit Solar Power Portal.
