Frequently Asked Questions
We know switching to solar comes with plenty of questions. Here are clear, honest answers to help guide your decision.
Do I need solar to get a battery storage system?
No, you don’t need solar panels to have a battery storage system. A battery can be installed on its own to store cheaper, off-peak electricity from the grid for use when energy prices are higher.
How does solar work?
Solar panels use photovoltaic (PV) cells to turn sunlight into electricity. That energy powers your property directly, with any excess stored in a battery system or exported to the grid for credit.
How long will my solar system last for?
Most solar systems last 25 years or more, offering long-term savings and dependable performance.
How soon will I start saving money from solar?
As soon as your solar system is switched on, you’ll see savings on your energy bills.
What is a battery storage system?
A battery storage system captures and stores excess solar energy for use when your panels aren’t producing electricity. It helps you use more of your own power, cut energy costs, and reduce reliance on the grid.
Do solar panels work in the winter?
Yes, solar panels still work in the winter. They generate electricity from daylight, not heat, so even on cold or cloudy days they’ll continue to produce power – just at a lower level than in summer.
Will solar panels and battery storage work if I have a power cut
Normally, solar panels shut down in a power cut. But with a battery and backup system, you can still power essential parts of your home.
Do you need planning permission for solar panels?
For most homes, solar panels fall under permitted development rights, so no planning permission is required. There are some exceptions for listed buildings or conservation areas, where additional approval may be needed.
How long does a solar panel installation take?
Most solar panel installations take just one to two days to complete. Our team works efficiently and tidily to minimise disruption, so you can start enjoying clean energy as soon as possible.
How many solar panels will fit on my roof?
The number of panels depends on your roof size, shape, and how much electricity you want to generate. During your free survey, we’ll design a system that fits your roof perfectly and meets your energy needs.
