Questions
What factors determine if my home is suitable for solar panels?
Roof orientation (south-facing ideal), angle (30-40° optimal), shade-free status, roof condition, and local sunlight levels determine suitability. We provide free surveys to assess these factors.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
Most installations fall under permitted development, but exceptions apply for listed buildings or conservation areas. We advise on specific requirements during your consultation.
Can solar panels charge an electric vehicle?
Yes, solar panels can charge EVs directly, via battery storage, or through grid net metering. We design systems to optimise charging efficiency and cost savings.
What grants are available for solar installations?
Zero-VAT applies to solar installations. While government grants are limited, we advise on current schemes like the Smart Export Guarantee for surplus energy payments.
What are the benefits of battery storage with solar panels?
Battery storage allows 24/7 solar use, reduces grid reliance, enables time-of-use tariff optimisation, and provides backup power during outages, enhancing energy independence.
