Solar Panel Design and Installation

While south-facing properties are optimal for solar energy, and east- and west-facing properties work very well, we supply fully bespoke systems, regardless of direction.

In the UK, solar panels contribute to significantly reducing your electric bill by generating electricity from sunlight. The generated power is used to meet your home’s energy needs, reducing reliance on the grid during daylight hours. Any excess electricity not used can be expired back to the grid for payment. If using a solar battery storage solution, energy generated during the day can be stored to power your home at night when there is no sunlight, further reducing your energy bills.

Yes. Less sunlight reaches the solar panels on cloudy days resulting in lower energy production. However, modern solar panels are designed to capture diffused sunlight, allowing them to generate electricity even in overcast conditions.  continue producing electricity beyond that at reduced efficiency. Manufacturers typically offer warranties of 20–25 years, ensuring reliable performance.

Absolutely, yes. Using battery storage with solar panels enables you to store excess energy generated during the day for use during periods of low or no sunlight, reducing reliance on the grid. This can lead to significant energy savings and increased energy independence. Our customers are able to harness twice as much energy from their solar PV systems by storing excess energy in their batteries for later use.

No, adding a battery to an existing system with a feed-in tariff does not have any effect on the tariff you receive. The FIT tariff is based on how much energy you produce, whether or not it is stored in the battery.

In the past five years, solar technology has greatly improved. The old lead acid batteries used in cars are inefficient and clunky. Since they were introduced, lithium-ion batteries have become widely used and have significantly improved energy storage. You can now expect a 10–15 year lifespan on your solar panel battery storage system.

We’ll send a qualified electrician to come and assess your home, determine the optimal location of your EV charging port, and connect the charger to your electrical supply, ensuring compliance with safety standards. This process typically takes a few hours, providing a quick and efficient installation.

Every home is different. However, our home EV charger technicians will ensure your charging port is strategically located for vehicle access and proximity to your electrical supply and Wi-Fi connection.

EV chargers require Wi-Fi for smart features like remote monitoring, scheduling, and integration with your home energy management systems, enhancing convenience. If you connect your Solar PV System to your home EV charger so you can charge your car via solar energy, Wi-Fi also offers the added benefit of monitoring and managing your energy production and EV charging remotely.

It’s strongly recommended not to install a home EV charger yourself due to health and safety concerns, unless you’re a qualified professional. Rules and regulations should be followed to ensure a safe and compliant installation.
