Is it right for me?

Saving	About £65 a year tilted south with little shade (government figures); your own figure
Payback	About 13.1 years at today's price
Over 15 years	About £122 saved after paying for the kit, before any electrician costs; panels are usually warranted 20 to 25 years and the small inverter 10 to 12
On the ENA register	Yes, so it can plug into a normal socket if your socket circuit has (or RCBO) protection; older fuse boxes need an electrician's check
Where it goes	Ground frame (ballast not included); not for balconies; needs a weatherproof outdoor socket within the cable length
Fitting	Panels and bracket to assemble; a wall or roof fixing is a job for a professional

What it could save

For the 460 W (1 × 460 W panel) version at £849, with little shade and someone home in the day:

Where the panels go	Made a year	Saving a year	Payback
South-facing, tilted	397	£65	13.1 years
South-facing wall or balcony	285 kWh	£54	15.7 years
East or west wall	218 kWh	£41	20.5 years

Government (DESNZ) yield and self-use figures for the south-tilted and east/west wall rows; the south wall row is our estimate. 26.32p a kWh (Ofgem price cap). Try your own home.

Not electrical advice. We compare products; we are not electricians. Before you connect a solar kit to your home, ask a qualified electrician to check the socket, the circuit and your , and follow the maker's instructions.

Note: Argos showed an estimated delivery month rather than stock when we checked. The hybrid-mount UKSOL kits (515 W, 890 W, 1,030 W, 1,260 W) are on the Argos site too, but Argos did not show us their prices, so they are not listed yet.

Why it's worth a look

Could take about £65 a year off your bill (south-tilted, someone home in the day): in about 13 years at today's prices.
Confirmed on the ENA Type Test Register, so it can be plugged in under the UK rules.
No roof work and no installer for the kit itself; take it with you when you move.
10-year warranty.

Watch out for

You must tell your network operator () after plugging it in.
