Costs by property type in Bangor

Flats and terraced houses

Smaller roofs usually take a 2–3kWp system, around £4,100 to £7,100 installed in Bangor. Terraced homes may need extra scaffold access from the street, and flats need freeholder or management-company consent before panels can go up.

Semi-detached houses

The most common installation: a 3.5–4kWp system on a semi-detached roof costs around £5,500 to £9,200 in Bangor. A south-facing slope is ideal, but east-west splits work well too.

Detached houses

Detached homes have the roof space for a 5–6kWp system, typically £7,400 to £12,200 in Bangor. Larger systems get a better price per panel, and pairing with a battery captures the surplus a bigger array generates.
