Frequently Asked Questions
How much do solar panels cost, and what is the typical payback period?
Standard residential solar panel installations typically range between £6,000 and £10,000 (without battery storage) depending on your property size, energy consumption, and total kilowatt (kW) setup. Thanks to 0% VAT on energy-saving materials, solar remains more accessible than ever.
Most homeowners recover their initial investment within 7 to 12 years. Payback is accelerated through direct electricity bill savings and earnings generated by selling excess energy back to the grid via the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
Should I add a battery storage system to my solar panels?
While solar panels work without a battery, adding battery storage increases your energy independence by storing unused solar power generated during daylight hours for evening use.
Without a battery, the average home consumes about 30%–40% of the energy their panels generate. Adding a battery boosts self-consumption up to 70%–80%, drastically reducing your reliance on grid electricity and significantly shortening your overall system payback period.
Are your solar installers MCS certified, and will I need planning permission?
Yes, our entire team is MCS certified (Microgeneration Certification Scheme). MCS accreditation is essential because energy suppliers require it to register you for the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), allowing you to get paid for exported energy.
In the vast majority of UK residential properties, solar panel installations fall under Permitted Development Rights, meaning formal planning permission is not required. If your property is a listed building or located in a conservation area, we handle any necessary local council applications and DNO (Distribution Network Operator) approvals on your behalf.
How do I know if my roof is suitable, and how long does installation take?
Most pitch types (slate, tile, metal) and orientations (South, East, or West) are suitable for solar panel installations. During our free technical site survey, we evaluate your roof’s pitch, structural integrity, and potential shading to design a custom system that yields optimal performance.
The physical installation on site usually takes 1 to 2 days. Our team manages everything from scaffolding and mounting to electrical wiring, commissioning, and handover with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
What warranties come with solar panels, and do they require regular maintenance?
Premium solar panels are built to withstand all weather conditions and come with two distinct warranties: a 25-year Performance Warranty (guaranteeing panels operate at ~80-85% capacity after 25 years) and a 12 to 25-year Product Warranty covering defects. Inverters typically carry a 10 to 12-year warranty (with extensions available).
Because solar panels have no moving parts and feature self-cleaning hydrophobic glass coatings, maintenance is minimal. Rain naturally clears most dust and dirt, though we recommend a gentle visual inspection and periodic cleaning every 1–2 years to maintain peak efficiency.
