Solar panels can be installed on rooftops, ground mounts, and other suitable structures with access to sunlight. Our experts assess your property to determine the best placement for optimal energy generation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Solar FAQ’s
Do I need planning permission to install solar panels?
In most cases, solar panel installations do not require planning permission as they fall under permitted development rights. However, regulations may vary based on your location and property type.
How long does it take to install solar panels?
Installation times vary depending on the size and complexity of the solar PV system. Typically, installation can range from a few days to a couple of weeks, including system design and connection to the grid.
What size solar PV system do I need for my home?
Our team conducts a thorough assessment of your energy usage and available roof space to recommend the optimal size solar PV system that meets your specific needs and goals.
How do solar panels work with my existing electricity supply?
Solar panels generate DC (direct current) electricity, which is converted into AC (alternating current) electricity compatible with your home’s electrical system through an inverter. Excess electricity can be stored in batteries or exported to the grid.
Will solar panels work on cloudy days or at night?
Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, albeit at reduced efficiency. They do not generate electricity at night, but battery storage systems can store surplus energy for use during nighttime or low-sunlight periods.
What maintenance do solar panels require?
Solar panels are low maintenance and typically require occasional cleaning to ensure optimal performance. Our maintenance services include inspections and cleaning to maximize efficiency and longevity.
How long do solar panels last?
Solar panels are durable and typically come with performance warranties ranging from 25 to 30 years. They can continue to generate electricity effectively beyond their warranty period with regular maintenance.
Can I store excess solar energy for later use?
Yes, excess solar energy can be stored in batteries for later use, providing backup power during grid outages or maximizing self-consumption of solar energy.
What financial incentives are available for installing solar panels?
There are various financial incentives, including government grants, tax credits, and Feed-in Tariffs (FITs), available to offset the cost of solar panel installations and encourage renewable energy adoption.
Can solar panels increase my home’s value?
Homes equipped with solar panels often have higher property values and may sell faster on the real estate market due to reduced energy costs and environmental benefits.
