How many solar panels do I need?
The average UK household uses 3-4000 kWh of electrical energy per year. A typical 2 kWp solar installation (which uses roughly 12 m2 of roof) will produce around 1700 kWh of energy per year in the UK. So to cover all of your household's energy requirements you'd need approximately 4-5 kWp of solar modules.

This is perfectly feasible on houses with suitable roofs but many houses will have space only for smaller systems, meaning the gap will have to come from energy efficiency improvements or other sources of renewable energy.
