Step 1 of 3
What is your monthly electricity bill?
Roughly is fine. It tells us how much solar could do for your home.
What Nottingham households get from REST
Numbers first, decisions later.
REST built this page around the question people actually ask: what would solar be worth to my home?
Panels and batteries matched to you
Eurener NEXA panels, with three decades of manufacturer cover for the product and for its performance, and storage from Duracell, Fox ESS, Tesla or Growatt where a battery suits your evenings.
Cover for your deposit
HIES provides insurance-backed deposit protection, and the installation is MCS-certified, which matters for export payments and for peace of mind.
Nottinghamshire customers
Solar and big batteries at Nottinghamshire homes
Two Nottinghamshire homes with high bills and large batteries, and what each is estimated to save.
Case study
A £3,000 electricity bill and 34.56 kWh of storage: a Nottinghamshire home going big
£2,989 a year, £249 a month, from 11,131 kWh of grid power. Ashley's Nottinghamshire home carries one of the biggest electricity bills on these pages.
REST went big in return: 20 panels and three batteries, 34.56 kWh of storage. Over half of the 20 panels' generation is projected to be used in the home, with the batteries contributing almost as much as solar used directly.
On the projection, payback arrives at around 11 years. With a bill like this one, the years after carry the weight, and the long-run figure below shows how much.

Case study
Nearly three quarters of the power used at home: a Nottinghamshire system with its priorities straight
A household using 9,797 kWh a year has plenty of demand to meet, and at £2,507 a year, £209 a month, Didar's Nottinghamshire home has the bill to prove it. The system was built to meet that demand.
Nearly three quarters of the 15 panels' output is projected to feed the house directly, and two batteries can bank more for later. Exports are a small footnote in the projection, and the batteries are its largest single piece.
Expect payback at around seven years, on the projection, which is among the shortest here. After that the roof can carry on against the same big demand, and the road ahead is mapped in the 30-year projection underneath.

What it means at home
Look at the years of bills ahead
An electricity budget is a continuing household cost. Solar can replace some purchases with power from your own roof, and a battery helps you use more of it.
In the daytime
When the sun is out, the roof's power goes to whatever is running in the house before anything is drawn from the grid.
In the evening
A larger battery can hold enough to take a typical evening off the grid, depending on the day's sunshine.
Once it has paid for itself
Once the system has paid for itself, your bill depends less on what the supplier charges for the electricity your roof is already making.

Solar in Nottingham
Planning, network and roofs around Nottingham.
A few local points that can affect a Nottingham installation.
Conservation areas and listed homes
Parts of Nottingham, including The Park Estate and the Lace Market, are conservation areas, and listed buildings need their own consent. For most other houses, roof panels go up with no planning application, provided the national conditions are met. Your local planning authority can confirm what applies at your address.
The East Midlands network
Nottingham homes connect through National Grid Electricity Distribution's East Midlands network. REST handles the G98 or G99 paperwork with the network, and the operator controls how quickly it responds.
Terraces, bay-fronted semis and newer estates
Nottingham mixes Victorian terraces, bay-fronted semis and interwar estates with plenty of newer builds. The surveyor measures usable roof space and shade, then sizes the system to the roof rather than to a template.

Common questions
Quick answers before you enquire
No. The estimate and the written quote cost nothing, and you are free to say no afterwards.
Nothing is hidden in a Nottingham 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
Yes, including options with no upfront cost. Finance is subject to status and lender approval, and REST UK acts as a credit broker, not a lender.
To confirm the roof, shade and electrics so that the quote can be accurate. The visit is free, and nothing is expected of you afterwards.
Treat it as a careful guide for a typical household with your bill. Your own quote draws on your roof and how you use power, and it too remains an estimate.
Yes. Once payback has passed, the system has recovered what it cost, and you still use the power it makes and store in the battery. Your proposal's forecast shows how REST expects that to play out.
Often not. Roof panels on a house are commonly permitted development, with listed buildings, conservation areas and flats as the usual exceptions, so confirm your address with the council.
Yes, through a Smart Export Guarantee tariff arranged with your supplier. The rate you get depends on the supplier.
It can. REST applies on your behalf, but the network operator decides how quickly it responds, so the date can move.

Notes on the figures
Projected net savings over 30 years: Ashley S, Nottinghamshire. 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 (£3,456) and inverter (£750) are replaced every 10 years.
Projected net savings over 30 years: Didar T, Nottinghamshire. 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 (£2,200) 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.
