Frequently asked
questions
Do solar panels make financial sense?
The higher your energy usage is the more beneficial solar panels will be and the quicker you’ll make a return on your panel cost. If you have a lower usage, your payback period will be longer. We can help you understand the payback period in our consultation.
What is the average cost?
The cost of installation will depend on the number of panels you need and if you choose battery storage. The number of panels and size of battery will depend on your household’s energy requirements.
Our average cost for solar panel and battery storage installation is £8-£15K. This takes into account all aspects of the project – products, labour, scaffolding, registration – which will be set out in the initial quotation that we provide. See our pricing for more information.
How easy it is to control and manage my solar usage?
Our preferred inverter products provide a clear app that is easy to understand. Through the app, you’’’re able to have transparency of all aspects of your energy generation, and control its usage For example, you can decide how and when to charge your EV by setting up rules within the app.
Do I need planning permission?
The only time you will need planning permission to install solar panels is when the property is listed or in a conservation area or sometimes if you have a flat roof.
Are solar panels right for my home?
At minimum, you’ll need an open space on a pitched or flat roof that can fit at least 6 solar panels which is approximately 12 m2.
Batteries are ideally positioned outside in the shade, ideally against the property wall so that they can be connected to the panels and inverter efficiently and safely.
It’s important that the panels are in the sun for most of the day, so a north facing roof will not be a feasible location. We’ll also need to use scaffolding to install the panels.
Do I need a battery?
To get the most from solar panels, it is beneficial to have a battery. This means you can store the energy you generate until it is needed and allows you to store energy from the grid when prices are low.
What products do you use?
We only recommend and work with MCS-certified products, which we have tried and tested. These include our solar panels, inverters, meters and batteries. Brands that we use include Giv energy, Tesla, JA Solar, Viridian, Jinko and many others.
