How long does it take to install Solar Panels?
- Most domestic Solar Panel installations take no more than a day with minimum disruption. Typically, the scaffolding will be erected a couple of days before the Solar PV installation team arrive. We will then mount the panels on the roof and install the inverter, finally carrying out the internal wiring.
How long will my Solar Panels last for?
- Solar PV systems have no moving parts apart from the inverter and as such have very long life spans.You should expect the panels to last for at least 25 years.
What guarantees will my Solar Panels come with?
- Your Solar Panels will come with a manufacturer?s guarantee of the panels? performance. Different manufacturers offer different guarantees, with the more premium levels of protection usually associated with the more expensive panels. It’s wise to make sure you understand the guarantee before you purchase.
How do I compare different makes of Solar Panels?
- Your panel choice will usually combine a number of factors including aesthetics, value for money, performance, track record and guarantees. Our engineers know the market and can advise you on the panels that will suit your needs.
Do I need constant sunshine for my Solar Panels to work?
- No, Solar Panels work in all daylight conditions and actually work at their optimum at 10ºc. In fact, if it gets too hot they start to become increasingly inefficient.
Do I need a South-facing roof for Solar Panels?
- Solar Panels work well on any roof facing South, SE or SW. Although your Solar Panels will perform better and produce more electricity if they are South facing, they will still perform at 86% (compared to South facing) either facing due East or West.
How much roof space do I need for Solar Panels?
- Solar Panels can be fitted to your roof or on your land. Generally an 8-panel Solar PV system would be one of the smallest we would recommend and this could easily fit on the roof of an average 3-bed semi. Our popular LUX series panels generate the most energy per m2 so you can still get plenty of electricity from a smaller roof.
