Solar PV panels are made up of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity. This electricity can then be used to power your home or business, or sold back to the grid.
Yes, solar PV panels work in the UK. Even on cloudy days, solar panels can still generate electricity, although they will produce less than on a sunny day.
Very little. They have no moving parts. An occasional clean and visual inspection every year or two is enough. We also offer full servicing and system checks.
In most cases, no. Domestic installations fall under permitted development. We’ll advise you if your roof or property type needs special permission.
Yes. We take care of DNO notifications, MCS certification, and warranty registration. You receive all documents and user guides after installation.
Yes. We’re MCS certified, NICEIC approved and fully insured. Every installation meets BS7671 standards and local DNO requirements.
Yes, solar PV panels can increase the value of your home. A study by the Department of Energy and Climate Change found that solar panels can add between 4% and 14% to the value of a home.
A battery storage system is a battery that is used to store electricity generated by solar PV panels. This electricity can then be used to power your home at night or during periods of low sunlight.
The cost of a battery storage system will vary depending on the size and type of battery you choose. However, a typical system for a UK household will cost between £5,000 and £10,000.
The lifespan of a battery storage system will vary depending on the type of battery used. However, most battery storage systems have a lifespan of 10-35 years.
Combining solar PV and battery storage can provide a number of benefits, including:
Increased self-sufficiency
Reduced reliance on the grid
Greater savings on energy bills
The ability to power your home during a power cut
The amount of battery storage you need will depend on several factors, including the size of your solar PV system, your energy consumption, and the amount of time you want to be able to power your home from your battery storage system.
There are several different types of battery storage systems available, including lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, and flow batteries. The best type of battery storage system for you will depend on your individual needs and budget.
The cost of installing a solar PV and battery storage system will vary depending on the size and type of system you choose, as well as the complexity of the installation. However, a typical system for a UK household will cost between £10,000 and £20,000
The installation time for a solar PV and battery storage system will vary depending on the size and complexity of the system. However, most systems can be installed within a few days.
