Raise Your EPC Rating with Solar Panels

21 February 2026

Raise Your EPC Rating with Solar Panels

Installing solar panels is one of the most effective ways to improve your home's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating — potentially adding value and reducing running costs.

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). A higher rating means lower energy bills, a smaller carbon footprint, and — increasingly — a higher property value.

Solar panels are one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your EPC rating. By generating your own electricity on-site, you reduce your home's reliance on grid power, which directly improves the SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) score used to calculate your EPC.

Many of our customers have moved from a D or E rating to a B or even A after installing a solar PV system. Combined with battery storage, the improvement can be even more dramatic — as stored energy further reduces grid dependency.

From April 2025, landlords in England and Wales are required to meet minimum EPC standards. Solar panels offer a cost-effective route to compliance while also generating income through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).

Contact Sun Magnet Solar for a free assessment of how solar could improve your EPC rating and reduce your energy bills.

Is Solar Worth It in 2026?

28 February 2026

Is Solar Worth It in 2026?

With energy prices still elevated and solar costs continuing to fall, 2026 is shaping up to be one of the best years ever to invest in solar panels for your home.

The question we hear most often is: 'Is solar actually worth it?' The honest answer in 2026 is a resounding yes — for most homeowners in the UK, solar panels now offer a compelling financial return alongside the environmental benefits.

A typical 4kW solar PV system in the UK generates around 3,400–3,800 kWh of electricity per year. With electricity prices currently around 30p per unit, that's a potential saving of over £1000 per year — before you factor in Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments for surplus energy exported to the grid.

The cost of solar has fallen dramatically over the past decade. A quality 8-panel system from Sun Magnet Solar starts from £4,999 — meaning payback periods of 6–8 years are now achievable for many households.

Our systems start from £5000 with no VAT on residential installations. Most customers see a payback period of 6–9 years, with the system continuing to generate savings for 25+ years. When you factor in rising energy prices, the payback period is likely to shorten further.

There's also the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) to consider — energy suppliers are required to pay you for surplus electricity you export to the grid, providing an additional income stream.

Solar also remains VAT-free until March 2027, saving you 20% on the installation cost. If you're considering solar, now is an excellent time to act.

Fox ESS H1 6kW Inverter — Why We Recommend It

The Fox ESS H1 6kW hybrid inverter is one of our most popular choices for residential solar installations. Here's why we rate it so highly.

At Sun Magnet Solar, we're selective about the equipment we install. Every product we recommend has been evaluated for reliability, performance, and after-sales support — and the Fox ESS H1 6kW hybrid inverter ticks all three boxes.

The H1 is a hybrid inverter, meaning it manages both your solar panels and battery storage from a single unit. This simplifies installation, reduces potential failure points, and gives you a clean, integrated system.

The EP12 battery provides 11.8kWh of usable storage capacity — enough to power a typical family home through the evening and overnight. The battery uses LFP (lithium iron phosphate) chemistry, which offers excellent cycle life (6,000+ cycles), safety, and performance in the UK climate.

Fox ESS provides a 10-year warranty on the H1, and their UK support team is responsive and knowledgeable. As an approved Fox ESS installer, Sun Magnet Solar can offer full warranty support directly.

The Fox app provides real-time monitoring of generation, consumption, battery state, and grid import/export — giving you complete visibility of your system's performance from your smartphone.

Introducing the Fox ESS Power Cube: Next-Gen Hybrid Inverter

19 October 2026

Introducing the Fox ESS Power Cube: Next-Gen Hybrid Inverter

The Fox ESS Power Cube is a cutting-edge hybrid inverter packed with advanced features, IP66 protection, and compatibility with high-voltage batteries — a major leap forward for home solar storage.

At Sun Magnet Solar, we're always on the lookout for the latest innovations in solar technology — and the new Fox ESS Power Cube has genuinely caught our attention. This sleek, all-in-one hybrid inverter represents a significant step forward in home energy storage, and we're excited to share what makes it stand out.

The Power Cube is Fox ESS's latest hybrid inverter, designed to work seamlessly with their own range of high-voltage batteries. It combines solar generation, battery storage, and grid management into a single, compact unit — making it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a clean, efficient, and future-proof energy system.

One of the standout specifications is the IP66 ingress protection rating. This means the Power Cube is fully dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets — making it suitable for installation in exposed locations such as garages, outbuildings, or external walls. You won't need to worry about the British weather getting the better of your inverter.

The Power Cube is designed to work with Fox ESS's own range of high-voltage batteries. High-voltage systems are more efficient than their low-voltage counterparts, meaning less energy is lost during charging and discharging. Over the lifetime of your system, this translates into more usable energy from every unit of solar power your panels generate.

As a true hybrid inverter, the Power Cube manages multiple energy sources simultaneously — solar panels, battery storage, and the grid. It intelligently prioritises how energy flows through your home, ensuring you use your own solar power first, draw from your battery second, and only pull from the grid when absolutely necessary. This kind of smart energy management can make a real difference to your electricity bills, particularly during the winter months when solar generation is lower.

The Power Cube lives up to its name — it's a neatly proportioned, tower-style unit with a clean white finish. It's designed to look at home in a modern property rather than being hidden away. If aesthetics matter to you (and for many of our customers, they do), this is a refreshing change from bulkier inverter designs.

Here in Norfolk and Suffolk, energy costs remain a significant concern for households. With electricity prices still elevated compared to historical averages, having a system that maximises your self-consumption of solar energy is more valuable than ever. The Power Cube's intelligent energy management means your battery is charged at the right time — prioritising cheap overnight tariff rates or surplus solar generation — and discharged when grid electricity is most expensive.

We already supply and install Fox ESS's EVO range, which has proven extremely reliable across dozens of installations in the region. The Power Cube builds on that foundation with a more refined design and enhanced battery compatibility. For customers who are planning a larger battery storage system or who want the very latest technology, the Power Cube is well worth considering.

If you'd like to find out more about the Power Cube and whether it's suitable for your property, get in touch with our team. We offer free, no-obligation quotes and can advise on the best system for your situation — whether you're installing solar for the first time or looking to upgrade an existing setup. We cover Norfolk, Suffolk, and the surrounding areas, and all our installations are carried out by MCS-accredited engineers to the highest standard.
