A 4kW system adds 8–14 SAP points (EPC Band B to A), unlocks SEG income for homebuyers, and takes solar from a marketing feature to a planning requirement. Developer pricing from £2,800 per unit for multi-plot schemes. ### Key Takeaways - The **Future Homes Standard** requires ~75–80% CO2 reduction vs 2013 Part L for new builds — solar PV is the lowest-cost compliance route. - A 4kW solar system adds **8–14 SAP points** and can push new builds from EPC Band B into Band A. - **Developer pricing** on multi-plot schemes from £2,800/unit (standard 4kW on-roof) to £3,500–£4,500/unit (in-roof integrated). - All installations are **MCS certified** with warranties transferring to buyers at handover. - Adding a [smart EV charger](/ev-charging/residential) per plot adds £649–£850 after OZEV grant — a significant marketing differentiator. - We handle coordination with main contractors, SAP modelling support, building control, and buyer handover documentation. - [Contact us](/contact-us) for a developer site survey and project quote. ## What Solar Costs for Property Developers on Multi-Plot Schemes? System Type Size Developer Price/Unit Notes On-roof standard 4kW (10 panels) £2,800–£3,200 Best for rear-facing or secondary roofs On-roof premium 5–6kW £3,200–£4,000 Larger plots, EPC A target In-roof integrated 4kW £3,500–£4,500 Flush finish, premium developments Solar + EV charger 4kW + 7.4kW £3,449–£4,050 (after grant) Full zero-carbon package Solar + Battery 4kW + 9.5kWh £5,800–£7,200 Maximises SAP, best buyer value 75–80% CO₂ reduction req.

Not mandated by name, but the [Future Homes Standard](https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/the-future-homes-and-buildings-standards-2023-consultation) requires ~75–80% CO₂ reduction vs 2013 Part L. Solar PV is the most cost-effective route to compliance — the vast majority of FHS-compliant new builds will include solar PV. What is the SAP rating benefit of adding solar panels to a new build? A 4kW solar PV system typically adds 8–14 SAP points — often moving a property from EPC Band B to Band A. Larger systems (5–6kW) or combined solar + battery configurations produce further uplift. We provide SAP modelling support for development projects. What is the typical solar panel cost for a housing development? Developer pricing for a standard 4kW on-roof system: £2,800–£3,200/unit on multi-plot schemes (20+ units). In-roof integrated: £3,500–£4,500/unit. Contact us for a project-specific quote. What is the difference between in-roof and on-roof solar for new builds? In-roof (e.g. Viridian) integrates flush with the roof tile line — preferred for premium south-facing frontages. On-roof racking mounts above tiles — lower cost, faster install, easier servicing. See our [in-roof solar guide](/in-roof-solar-panels). Can new build solar panels include SEG export? Yes. All MCS-certified new build solar installations are eligible for the [Smart Export Guarantee](/grants/smart-export-guarantee). We handle MCS registration and provide SEG setup documentation for buyer handover. Do you offer project management for solar on housing developments? Yes — from planning stage through to buyer handover, including main contractor coordination, building control, MCS certification, and handover documentation. We have experience across North West housing developments. What solar warranties apply to new build installations? 25-year panel performance warranty, 10–15-year product warranty, 10-year inverter warranty (extendable), 10-year workmanship warranty under MCS. All warranties transfer to the buyer at handover. Are EV chargers included in new build solar packages? Yes — we offer solar + OZEV-approved EV charger packages per plot. Adding a Zappi charger adds £649–£850/unit after OZEV grant. A compelling marketing combination for Greater Manchester developments. **Methodology note:** Future Homes Standard CO₂ reduction target from [DLUHC 2023 consultation document](https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/the-future-homes-and-buildings-standards-2023-consultation).
