FAQs
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity for your home. The energy can power appliances, lighting and heating systems, with any excess potentially being exported to the grid.
Will my solar panels produce electricity on cloudy days?
Yes. Solar panels still generate electricity in cloudy or overcast conditions, although output will be lower compared to bright, sunny days. Rainy days can actually keep your panels running more efficiently as the water will wash away any dirt that has collected on the panels.
How much can I save on my electricity bills?
Savings depend on the size of your system and your household energy use. On average, homeowners can save hundreds of pounds per year. Our personalised quotes will give you an estimation on the savings you could make.
Are solar panels suitable for every home?
Most homes can benefit from solar panels, but suitability depends on roof size, orientation and shading. We provide a free survey to assess your property and recommend the best system for your home.
Can I add battery storage to my solar system?
Yes. Battery storage allows you to store excess electricity generated by your solar panels for use later, such as in the evening or during peak times. Adding a battery can increase your energy independence, reduce reliance on the grid and maximise savings. Our team can advise on the best storage options for your home and integrate them seamlessly with your existing solar system.
How much does a domestic solar installation cost?
The cost of a solar panel system depends on factors such as the size of your home, the number of panels and the type of equipment used. On average, a typical domestic system in the UK can range from £5,000 to £9,000. While this is an investment upfront, many homeowners recover costs through lower energy bills, potential government incentives, and long-term savings.
