West Yorkshire customers
Solar for busy West Yorkshire households
Two West Yorkshire homes with high electricity bills, and what solar and a battery are estimated to do.
Case study
A West Yorkshire home with a serious appetite for electricity, and a roof to match
9,740 kWh a year is a serious amount of power, and £2,100 a year is what it was set to cost Adam's West Yorkshire home. A bill like that does not need a clever idea. It needs a big roof.
REST fitted 20 panels and a battery, and around half of the roof's output is projected to power the house directly. The rest is split between the battery and exports, a balanced system for a household with plenty to power.
Payback is projected at around seven years, a short wait for a system this size. After that the roof can carry on working, and the years ahead are laid out in the projection below.
- Estimated yearly electricity spend
- £2,100
- System
- 9.5 kWp + 11.52 kWh battery
- Est. first-year benefit
- £1,839
- Est. payback
- 7 years
Projected net savings over 30 years*£104,591
*Assumes electricity prices rise 7.04% a year. A projection, not a guarantee.
Case study
£217 a month: a West Yorkshire home putting its roof to work against a £2,600 bill
£2,600 a year is the price of a good holiday, spent every year on electricity. That was what Conor's West Yorkshire home was set to pay for 8,000 kWh of grid power.
Fourteen panels and a battery set out to claw some of it back. More than half of the power the 14 panels make is projected to stay in the house, which is where the value lies when the bill is this high.
Payback is projected at around 11 years, longer than some. A bill of this size is why the later years weigh so heavily in the 30-year projection below.
- Estimated yearly electricity spend
- £2,600
- System
- 7 kWp + 11.52 kWh battery
- Est. first-year benefit
- £1,661

What it means at home
How much could your own generation add up to?
Electricity made and used at home is worth something every time it replaces a grid purchase. A long forecast shows how that could build, rather than stopping at one year.
In the daytime
From morning to mid-afternoon, the roof can supply a large share of what a busy household is using.
In the evening
The battery stores what the house does not need at the time, so cooking, lighting and screens can run on it after dark.
Once it has paid for itself
Post-payback, the home-made power you use is power you did not buy, with replacement costs for a battery or inverter set out in the forecast.
Reasons to trust the quote
Evidence behind the numbers.
You can confirm each of these independently.

Insured deposits
Through HIES, your deposit sits under an insurance-backed scheme, subject to its limits.
Savings with assumptions shown

Three local points that can shape a Leeds solar plan.
Conservation areas and listed homes
Leeds has many conservation areas, including Roundhay and Chapel Allerton, and listed buildings need consent of their own. Outside those, most house roofs can take panels with no planning application. Confirm your address with the council before you plan.
Northern Powergrid
Leeds homes connect through Northern Powergrid's Yorkshire network. REST handles the G98 or G99 connection request, while the operator sets how long it takes.
Back-to-backs, villas and new estates
Dense terraces, stone-built villas and modern estates all appear across the city, each with different roof space and shade. The surveyor measures your own roof.

Common questions
Quick answers before you enquire
Neither costs anything, and neither commits you.
Nothing is hidden in a Leeds proposal. It lists:
- Finance options, subject to status
- Panel warranty details
- How your deposit is protected through HIES
- Your panel layout
- Battery options sized to your usage
- Your price, confirmed after the free survey
REST has finance routes, some with no upfront cost. Finance is subject to status and lender approval, and REST UK acts as a credit broker, not a lender.
A survey turns the estimate into a firm price by confirming roof size, shade and electrics. It is free and does not obligate you.
Treat it as a cautious guide to a typical household with your bill. The quote reflects your own roof and usage, and is still only an estimate.
Yes, and that is a big part of the case. After payback your roof keeps reducing your purchases, with replacement costs for batteries and inverters allowed for in the forecast.
It affects how panels are fixed, which the surveyor checks, but it does not rule solar out.
Panels work on grey days too, as they respond to daylight rather than direct sun alone. Roof direction, pitch and shade count for more than the forecast.
Yes: exported power is paid for under the Smart Export Guarantee, with each supplier setting its own rate.

Notes on the figures
Projected net savings over 30 years: Adam D, West Yorkshire. This is the projection in the customer's own proposal, after the cost of the system and any finance repayments. It assumes electricity prices rise 7.04% a year, panel output falls 3% in the first year and about 0.38% a year after that, battery capacity falls 2.5% a year, and the battery (£1,152) and inverter (£750) are replaced every 10 years.
Projected net savings over 30 years: Conor D, West Yorkshire. This is the projection in the customer's own proposal, after the cost of the system and any finance repayments. It assumes electricity prices rise 7.04% a year, panel output falls 1% in the first year and about 0.38% a year after that, battery capacity falls 2.5% a year, and the battery (£1,152) and inverter (£750) are replaced every 10 years.
If electricity prices rise more slowly than assumed, the savings will be lower. Projections are not measured results or a guarantee, and they depend on the roof, usage, tariff and future energy prices. These are selected examples, not typical results.
