frequently asked questions.
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. This energy can be used in your home, stored in a battery, or fed back to the grid.
How much could I save with solar ?
Savings depend on your energy usage, system size, and available sunlight. Many homeowners reduce bills by up to 70%, and with smart export guarantees (SEG), you can earn money from selling excess energy.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
In most cases, no. Solar panels are considered permitted development, but exceptions include listed buildings or conservation areas.
How long do solar panels usually last?
Most panels last 25–30 years, with warranties covering 20+ years of performance.
Can I add battery storage?
Yes! A solar battery lets you store unused energy for later use, reducing reliance on the grid and increasing savings. Pay 0% VAT on both solar and battery AND battery only installations.
What is the installation process?
After a remote survey, a professional installer fits the panels, inverter, and any battery storage, usually within 1–2 days. The whole process from start to finish can be completed in a matter of a few weeks.
What happens on cloudy days?
Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, but at a lower rate. Battery storage and grid backup help maintain energy supply. Utilise your energy use efficiently and benefit from exclusive tariffs to help maximise your savings.
