Switching to solar can reduce your electricity bills by as much as 90% – especially when your system includes home battery storage. How much you save depends on how much energy you use, the size of your solar system, and how well you manage your energy day to day.
Batteries allow you to store solar energy and use it when grid prices are highest – such as during evenings – helping you avoid peak tariffs. You can also sell surplus energy back to the grid through smart export tariffs, unlocking further savings.
Most LIME customers start seeing savings right away, and typical payback periods are now faster than ever thanks to improved panel and battery performance. Plus, savings will continue to grow as energy prices rise.
Our expert team will design a system to suit your home and usage patterns, so you can maximise savings and enjoy greater energy independence – while reducing your carbon footprint.

For most UK homes, a solar panel system typically costs between £5,000-£7,000. If you add a home battery – allowing you to store and manage your own power – costs range from £8,000-£10,000 for small to medium setups, and around £11,000-£14,000 for larger systems with more storage capacity.
Of course, every home is different. The size of your roof, the amount of sunlight you receive, your energy usage, and your goals (lower bills, greater independence, net zero targets) will all affect your ideal system design – and therefore the cost.
With LIME, you’ll always get a clear, personalised quote based on a free home survey – no generic online estimates or hidden extras. We also offer flexible finance options to help spread the cost in a way that works for you. Our aim is simple: to help you move to clean solar energy in the smartest, most affordable way possible.

Most homes in the UK are great candidates for solar. Key factors that affect performance include roof direction (south-facing is ideal, but east and west can also perform very well), roof pitch, the amount of shading, and usable roof space.
Modern solar PV panels are highly efficient – even when conditions aren’t perfect. In fact, many homes with partial shading or mixed roof orientations can still achieve excellent returns with a well-designed system.
Our free home survey is the best way to assess what’s possible. One of our LIME experts will visit your property and recommend the best solution for your home – without jargon or sales pressure. We’ll always give you an honest view of the performance you can expect.
If your home isn’t right for solar, we’ll say so – but for many homes, solar can now deliver very strong savings, lower your carbon footprint, and add value to your property.

The process of going solar with LIME is refreshingly simple. After your free survey, we’ll provide a clear quote. Once you accept, the typical lead time to installation is a few weeks – depending on demand and product availability.
On installation day, our team usually completes the job in 1-2 days, covering everything: solar panel fitting, inverter and battery installation, system testing and grid connection. We manage all required permissions and DNO (Distribution Network Operator) applications on your behalf – no paperwork for you to worry about.
Once installed, we’ll show you how your system works, how to monitor performance using our free app, and how to optimise your savings. We’ll also be on hand for aftercare support should you ever need us.
In short: going solar with LIME is quick, easy, and designed to minimise disruption to your daily life.

A home battery stores any excess electricity your solar panels generate – so you can use this power later, instead of buying from the grid.
During the day, your solar panels produce electricity. First, this is used to power your home’s immediate needs. Any surplus energy is stored in your battery. Then, when the sun goes down or your usage increases – such as evenings when lights, appliances and heating are in use – you can draw on stored solar energy rather than using expensive grid electricity.
Batteries can also be programmed to take advantage of smart tariffs by storing cheap off-peak grid energy at night – providing further savings.
At LIME, we’ll recommend the right battery size and configuration for your home, based on your energy use and solar generation profile. A well-sized battery allows you to maximise savings, improve your energy independence, and make the most of your solar system year-round.

With LIME, great service doesn’t stop after installation. We provide free lifetime monitoring through our app – letting you easily track how much energy you’re generating, using, storing, and saving.
Our expert support team is always available if you need assistance – no third-party call centres, no chasing. We only use premium solar panels, batteries, and inverters from trusted global manufacturers. All systems are covered by strong product and installation warranties, giving you long-term peace of mind.
Some companies charge monthly fees for system monitoring – LIME doesn’t. With us, monitoring is included as standard. We believe that aftercare should be honest, transparent and built-in – not an added cost.
Our goal is to make sure your solar and battery system performs beautifully for years to come – maximising savings, reducing carbon emissions, and helping you stay in control of your energy future.

Solar panels still generate electricity even on cloudy or overcast days – just at lower levels. While bright, sunny conditions provide maximum output, modern solar PV panels are designed to perform efficiently even in typical UK weather.
Thanks to battery storage, any surplus solar energy generated during brighter periods can be used later – helping balance out days with lower generation. Even on cloudier days, your system will contribute to your household’s energy needs, reducing how much you draw from the grid.
At LIME, we’ll show you exactly what to expect from your system, based on your roof, local weather patterns, and seasonal averages. We’ll also help you configure your battery settings to maximise year-round performance. In short: even when the sun isn’t shining, your solar system is still working for you – cutting carbon, saving money, and reducing grid reliance.

More and more homebuyers are looking for properties with sustainable features – especially as energy prices continue to rise. Studies show that homes with solar panels are increasingly attractive to buyers and may command higher sale prices or faster sales.
With solar, your home becomes cheaper to run – with lower monthly bills and greater energy independence. If your system includes battery storage, this benefit is even stronger. These are valuable selling points for today’s eco-conscious buyers.
In addition, solar systems can future-proof your home – helping meet EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) targets and making your property more compliant with evolving energy standards.
At LIME, we’ll provide all the documentation and performance data you need to demonstrate your system’s value – whether for your own peace of mind, or for future buyers.

Absolutely. One of the benefits of working with LIME is that your system can be designed with flexibility in mind. If your energy needs change—perhaps you add an electric vehicle, new heating system, or grow your household – you can expand your solar PV array or add more battery storage later.
During your initial survey, we’ll discuss your current usage and future plans, so we can design a system that suits you now – and is easy to expand later if needed.
Our team only installs premium, future-proof technology from trusted manufacturers—so compatibility and scalability won’t be an issue.
Many customers choose to start with a base system and add more as their needs evolve. We’ll always be on hand to support you – whether you’re adding extra panels, increasing battery capacity, or adding EV charging to your setup.
