Solar panel systems on homes are typically up to 4kWp. A system of this size can generate more than 3,000kWh per year.
For comparison, a home using a 'medium' amount of electricity gets through 2,700kWh a year on average, according to energy regulator Ofgem. A 'high' user takes 4,100kWh a year.
The cost of a solar PV system depends on:
