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 guarantee (SEG), you can earn money from selling excess energy.
Do I need planning permission for solar?
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 solar 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 if you choose to install one later down the line.
What is the installation process?
Once you have had your free home survey and quote, we will apply to your DNO with the relevant paperwork for your installation. It's then time to book your install date and start getting excited!
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.
