Designed for typical UK households where solar starts to deliver meaningful financial return.
A 5 kW solar system is the most commonly installed system size in the UK. It is designed for households where electricity usage is high enough to justify a larger system, but where oversizing would reduce overall return.
In most cases, a correctly installed system will generate 4,000 to 5,000 kWh per year, depending on roof orientation, pitch, and location.
This allows a significant portion of your electricity usage to be covered by your own generation.
This system is suitable if you want a strong balance between cost and savings.
We size systems based on actual usage, not assumptions.
A clear step beyond entry-level solar.
This is where solar stops being a “nice upgrade” and starts becoming a financial decision.
This decision directly affects how much of your solar energy you actually use.
Lower upfront cost. Faster payback.
Unused energy is exported to the grid rather than stored.
Greater control over your energy usage.
Engineering Note: Most AORO clients at this system size choose battery storage when they are focused on long-term cost control. Battery systems can be added later. All installations are designed with upgrade capability in mind.
| Option | Upfront Cost | Savings | Control |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Battery | Medium | High | Medium |
| With Battery | Higher | Higher (long-term) | High |
