Frequently asked questions
The essentials. For anything else, just ask an engineer.
What is solar and how does it work?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. The electricity powers your home or business, and any excess can be stored in batteries or sent back to the grid, earning you credits through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
How much can I save with solar panels?
Residential solar can save you up to 70% on energy bills, while commercial installations can save even more. With battery storage you can further reduce costs by storing energy for peak times and earn by selling excess back to the grid.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
In most cases you don’t need planning permission, as long as the installation meets certain conditions. Check with your local council if you’re in a conservation area or have a listed building.
How long do solar panels last?
Solar panels typically last 25–30 years. While efficiency may decrease slightly over time, they’ll continue generating energy for decades.
Will solar panels work in the UK climate?
Yes. Solar panels work even on cloudy days, though they generate more power with direct sunlight. UK weather is well suited to solar, and modern systems are increasingly efficient.
Are there financial incentives for installing solar and battery storage?
Yes. Both solar panels and battery storage are eligible for 0% VAT for residential properties. Homeowners can also earn through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), and businesses may benefit from tax breaks and grants.
