Tesco has been pushing their ‘solar price drop’ and are advertising heavily online to sell their solar panel systems. They promise a ‘7 year payback time’ and a ‘14.57% ROI’ – but are the Tesco solar panel systems actually priced attractively? The answer is no, you can overpay as much as 1.000 pounds by going for supermarket solar..

The following table shows the best prices of solar panels from Tesco versus the best price of solar panels from installers at CompareMySolar:

It clearly shows that Supermarket Solar is not the cheapest option, and you could actually save up to 20%, or more than 1,000 pounds by going direct to your local installer. At the end of the day, Tesco will not go up on your roof directly, but simply subcontract to a local installer and add their own margin.
