frequently asked questions

What’s a Solar PV System?
A solar PV (photovoltaic) system is what lets you turn sunlight into usable electricity for your home. It’s made up of solar panels, an inverter, and sometimes a battery. The panels soak up the sun and create DC electricity, which the inverter then switches into AC power the energy to use later. Simple, smart, and super energy-saving.
How Much Can I Save with Solar?
Savings with a solar PV system can vary, but one thing’s for sure it can seriously cut your energy bills. It all depends on your system size, how much sunshine your place gets, and how much electricity you use. A lot of homeowners end up saving a solid chunk, and some even make a little cash by selling extra power back to the grid through the UK’s Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). It’s a win for your wallet and the planet.
What’s the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)?
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is a UK scheme that lets you earn money for the extra solar energy you don’t use. If your panels generate more electricity than you need, that surplus gets sent back to the grid and your energy supplier pays you for it. The amount you get can vary depending on the supplier, so it’s a good idea to compare rates and find the best deal. A nice little bonus for going green!
Can Solar Still Power My Home When It’s Cloudy or Dark?
Yep! With a battery storage system, your solar setup can keep things running even when the sun’s not out. During the day, your panels generate more electricity than you probably need and that extra energy gets stored in the battery. Then, when it’s dark or cloudy, your home taps into that stored power instead of relying on the grid. Super handy and super energy-saving.
Do I Need Planning Permission for Solar Panels in the UK?
Generally, no you don’t need planning permission to install solar panels on your home in the UK. However, there are a few exceptions, like if your home is listed or located in a conservation area. It’s always a good idea to double-check with your local planning authority to make sure everything’s good to go before you start installing.
