What We Offer
At Amppro Electrical, we design and install solar panel systems tailored to your home, your energy usage, and your budget. Every installation starts with a free, no-obligation survey where we assess your roof orientation, pitch, shading, and available space. We then create a bespoke system design with detailed generation estimates based on your actual property, not generic figures from a template.
We use high-efficiency monocrystalline panels from leading manufacturers, each rated at 400W or above, combined with reliable string or micro inverters depending on your roof configuration. Every system is designed to maximise generation throughout the year, taking into account Yorkshire's approximately 1,350 to 1,450 annual sunshine hours and local weather patterns. Our installations are completed by qualified electricians and carry manufacturer warranties of 25 to 30 years on panels and 10 to 15 years on inverters.
Residential solar panel installations in the UK currently benefit from 0% VAT, making this the most affordable time to invest in solar energy. We handle the entire process from initial survey through to DNO notification, MCS certification, and Smart Export Guarantee registration, so you can start earning money for your excess electricity exports from day one.

Benefits of Solar Panels
Slash Your Energy Bills
A typical 4kW system saves homeowners between £800 and £1,200 per year on electricity bills, with additional income from the Smart Export Guarantee for energy you export back to the grid.
Protection from Rising Prices
Electricity prices have risen sharply in recent years and the long-term trend points upward. Solar panels lock in free electricity for 25 years or more, shielding you from future price increases.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
A 4kW solar system prevents approximately 1.5 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year. Over its 25-year lifespan, that is the equivalent of planting hundreds of trees or taking a car off the road for decades.
Fast Payback Period
Most Yorkshire homeowners see full payback within 6 to 9 years. After that, your solar panels provide essentially free electricity for the remaining 15 to 20 years of their warranted lifespan.
Add Value to Your Property
Research consistently shows that homes with solar panels sell faster and at a premium. As energy costs continue to rise, buyers increasingly value properties with their own generation capacity.
Zero VAT on Installations
Residential solar panel installations in the UK attract 0% VAT, reducing the upfront cost by a significant margin. This applies to panels, inverters, batteries, and the installation labour.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A typical residential solar panel system in the UK costs between £5,000 and £12,000 depending on system size, panel brand, and roof complexity. A standard 4kW system suitable for a 3-bedroom semi-detached house typically costs £6,000–£8,000 including installation and VAT at 0%.
Most UK homes need between 8 and 16 solar panels depending on energy usage and available roof space. A typical 3-bedroom house with average energy consumption usually suits a 4kW system (10 x 400W panels). We design every system based on your actual electricity bills and roof dimensions.
Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine. On a cloudy day in the UK, panels typically produce 10–25% of their peak output. Over a full year in Yorkshire, a well-designed system generates 3,300–3,800 kWh — enough to cover 50–70% of an average household's electricity needs.
Most homeowners in Yorkshire see a payback period of 6–9 years based on current electricity prices and the Smart Export Guarantee. After payback, your solar panels provide essentially free electricity for their remaining 20+ year lifespan.
In most cases, no. Solar panels are classed as permitted development for domestic properties in England, meaning you do not need planning permission. Exceptions apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, and certain flat-roof installations. We check your specific situation during the free survey.
The Smart Export Guarantee pays you for excess solar electricity you export to the grid. Rates vary by energy supplier — typically 4–15p per kWh exported. You need an MCS-certified installation and a smart meter to qualify. We handle the SEG application as part of our service.
Modern solar panels are warranted for 25–30 years and typically continue generating electricity well beyond that. Performance degrades very slowly — most panels still produce 80%+ of their original output after 25 years. Inverters typically last 10–15 years and may need replacing once during the panel lifespan.
Yes. With electricity prices above 30p per kWh and 0% VAT on residential solar installations, the financial case is stronger than ever. A typical 4kW system saves £800–£1,200 per year on electricity bills plus SEG export payments, paying for itself in 6–9 years and then providing free electricity for 20+ more years.
