Tariffs & Funding
Making solar power more affordable - with support that works for you.
At Suffolk Solar & Electrical, we know that switching to solar is a smart long-term investment – but we also understand that the upfront cost can feel like a barrier.
The good news is that there’s never been more support available to help Suffolk homeowners make the switch. Right now, eligible residents can access the new Warm Homes Suffolk Loan – a low-interest loan scheme run in partnership between Suffolk County Council and Lendology, designed specifically to help fund energy efficiency improvements including solar panels and battery storage.
Whether you’re planning to use the loan scheme, fund your system privately, or simply want to understand what’s available – we’re here to guide you through every option clearly and honestly.
Warm Homes Suffolk Loan
If you’re a homeowner in Suffolk, you may be eligible for a low-interest loan at a fixed rate of 2.2% APR to help fund your solar panel installation through the Warm Homes Suffolk scheme, in partnership with Lendology.
This is a brilliant opportunity to make your home more energy-efficient – without the need for large upfront payments.
What’s included:
- Borrow between £2,000 and £15,000
- 2% fixed interest (representative 2.2% APR)
- Repayments spread over 2–7 years
- No early repayment fees
- Available to homeowners in Babergh, East Suffolk, Ipswich, Mid Suffolk & West Suffolk

What does solar actually cost?
The cost of installing solar panels varies depending on the size of your system, your roof type, and whether you choose to include things like battery storage or EV charging.
Here’s a general guide to give you a rough idea:
- Basic solar install: from around £4,500–£6,500
- System with battery storage: from £8,000+
- EV charger installation: quoted separately
These figures are indicative only – every property is different, and the only way to give you an accurate cost is to carry out a proper survey first. That’s exactly what we do. We’ll always provide a clear, fully itemised quote tailored specifically to your home or business, with no pressure, no jargon, and no hidden costs.
What will I save?
Every household is different, so savings vary depending on your property and energy use. This is exactly why we assess each home individually before quoting.
Your savings will depend on:
- How much energy you use (and when)
- Whether you include battery storage
- Whether you export unused energy back to the grid
