Solar Energy Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about materials, regulations, or timelines? Read common answers below.
Solar panels do not require direct sunlight to generate electricity; they work using daylight. While they generate less power on cloudy days compared to bright summer days, they still produce a meaningful amount of electricity. In the UK, solar arrays remain highly viable throughout the year.
A solar battery stores the excess electricity your panels generate during the day instead of sending it back to the National Grid. You can then use this stored energy during the evening or night. While not strictly required, adding battery storage significantly increases your self-reliance and energy savings.
Solar panels can be installed on most roofs, including pitched tile, slate, metal, and flat roofs, provided the roof structure is sound and receives adequate daylight. If your roof requires structural strengthening or repair, we can arrange a roofing team to prepare it before the solar install.
In most parts of the UK, installing solar panels on residential properties is considered a Permitted Development and does not require planning permission. However, exceptions apply to listed buildings, properties in conservation areas, or flat roofs where panels project significantly. The arranged specialists will confirm this.
Modern solar panels are highly durable and typically come with performance warranties of 25 years. They have no moving parts, so they require minimal maintenance. Solar inverters generally last between 10 to 15 years and may need replacing once during the system's lifespan.
Bird proofing involves installing mesh or clips around the perimeter of solar panels to prevent pigeons and other birds from nesting underneath. Nesting birds can damage wiring, accumulate debris, and reduce the system's ventilation, which lowers efficiency.
Savings depend on your electricity usage, the size of the system, and whether you have battery storage. An average household can save between 50% and 70% on their electricity bill by using solar power and battery storage effectively.
