Most people arrive with one of three questions: will panels work on my house, what will they cost, and what am I allowed to do? The guides below answer those for the Wirral rather than for "the UK". If you are short of time, start with the peninsula map, then read the cost guide and the planning page for your street.

How we keep the guides current
The figures that change most often are the energy price cap (every three months), export tariffs, the VAT relief (0% until 31 March 2027) and the city region's schemes. Each page shows when its facts were last checked, and our data and sources page lists every dataset we use with the date we read it. The FAQs answer the short questions, and the glossary explains the terms installers use.
If you spot something out of date, or want to ask about your own roof, use the form at the foot of the page. It comes to SEO-DONS LTD, the publisher, and we reply by email.
