Benefits
Reduce your electricity costs
- By generating your own power through solar panels, you can cut your annual electricity bill by up to £400. Plus, if you generate more power than you use, you can earn money by selling it back to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee.
Reduce your carbon footprint
- Solar power is a source of clean energy so using it to power your home sustainably will mean you're contributing to the UK achieving its carbon reduction goals - a vital step in helping to combat climate change. Cutting your carbon footprint will also mean you're helping to protect wildlife habitats, communities and economies that are threatened by a warming climate.
A renewable source of energy
- As well as helping to combat climate change, renewable energies like solar also help to reduce air pollution, which is one of the biggest challenges we're facing globally.
Easy to install
- Solar panels can easily be installed on your roof. It will usually take only a day or so for your home to be up and running on solar energy. But it's important to remember that the tilt and direction of your roof will have an impact on how much energy you can expect to get from your panels. With a range of systems available we can help you optimise your solar system to best match your needs.
Renewables FAQ
-
Will my home be suitable for solar PV?
Several factors influence if a home is suitable for a Solar PV, including if the roof direction and angle (a 30-40 degree pitch being ideal), the shading of the area such as trees and buildings should not cast shadows on the panels and the condition of your roof, having enough space for a Solar PV.
-
Is there any maintenance required for Solar PVs?
Solar PV systems are generally low maintenance, only requiring the occasional cleaning and an annual professional checkup.
-
How does a Solar PV work in cloudy weather or at night?
Solar PVs are still able to generate some electricity in cloudy conditions, but output is reduced - at night you may rely on electricity from the grid or a battery storage system if you have one.
-
How long do solar panels last?
Most solar panels are designed to last for 25 to 30 years or more. However, their efficiency may decrease slightly over time. Many manufacturers guarantee that their panels will still produce at least 80% of their initial output after 25 years.
-
Do I need planning permission to install solar panels in the UK?
In most cases, you won’t need planning permission to install solar panels on your home in the UK. However, there are some exceptions, such as if your property is listed or in a conservation area. It’s always best to check with your local planning authority before proceeding with installation.
