What a home battery does, what it costs, and when it pays for itself - in plain English.

Why roof direction and shading matter - and why east or west is still well worth it.

What kWp means, how many panels fit a typical home, and how to size a system to your usage.

How payback works, what changes it, and why solar keeps saving long after it's paid off.

How you get paid for the solar you don't use - and how to get a better export rate.

What goes into the price, typical costs by system size, and the 0% VAT saving.
