Solar FAQ’s
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels work by capturing sunlight and converting it into electricity through a process called photovoltaics.
How much do solar panels cost for a residential installation?
The cost of solar panels varies depending on factors like system size, location, and equipment. Send us a message now with some details of your property and what you are after, and we'll come back to you with an initial estimate.
What is the payback period for a solar panel system?
The payback period typically ranges from 5 to 10 years, but it varies depending on factors such as energy consumption, local incentives, and system cost.
Are there government incentives for solar panel installations?
The government has unveiled plans to grant VAT relief on the installation of energy storage batteries.
Do I need to replace my roof before installing solar panels?
It's recommended to have a structurally sound roof before installing solar panels.
How long do solar panels last?
Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25 years or more. They may continue to generate electricity beyond this period but at a reduced efficiency.
What maintenance is required for solar panels?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance, although for best performance and reliability we recommend that you get your panels professionally cleaned at least annually. Periodic cleaning and ensuring that they are free of debris is crucial to continue to get the most from your solar panel investment.
How much electricity will my solar panels generate?
The amount of electricity generated depends on factors such as panel efficiency, orientation, shading, and location. An installer can provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific situation.
What happens on cloudy or rainy days?
Solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, although the output will be lower compared to sunny days.
Do I need a battery with my solar panel system?
Batteries are optional but can provide energy storage, allowing you to use solar power during the night or during power outages. They can increase energy independence.
How long does it take to install solar panels on a residential property?
Installation typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the complexity of the project.
Do I need special permits or approvals for solar panel installation?
Yes, you may need permits and approvals from your local government. Your solar installer can help you with this process.
What happens to excess electricity my panels generate?
Excess electricity can often be fed back into the grid, depending on your location and utility's policies, and you may receive credits or compensation for it.
Can I take my solar panels with me if I move?
Solar panels are often considered a valuable home improvement, but it's essential to check local regulations and whether the new property is suitable for solar installation.
