There are many factors that influence the price of photovoltaic panels including manufacturing costs, logistics and distribution, efficiency, and installation.

Once installed, the amount of sunlight and the efficiency of the panels themselves will effect the return on investment that photovoltaic solar panels provide.

Whilst the upfront price of solar panels starting at around £8,000 is high, the long-term benefits of solar power are clear.

Homes and businesses installing solar panels on their properties can benefit from free electricity for themselves, and due to subsidised feed-in tariffs, the financial payback can happen in the region of 5 to 10 years.

The price of photovoltaic solar cells themselves have fallen considerably in recent years, due to developments in technology and also component design.
