Power Your Home with Solar Energy

The average UK household saves between £600-£1,200 per year on electricity bills with solar panels. Your exact savings depend on factors like system size, roof orientation, energy usage, and your electricity tariff. With the Smart Export Guarantee, you can also earn money by selling excess energy back to the grid. Over 25 years, total savings typically range from £15,000 to £30,000.

Most UK roofs are suitable for solar panels! Ideally, your roof should face south, southeast, or southwest for maximum sunlight exposure. However, east and west-facing roofs can still generate significant energy. Your roof should be structurally sound and have minimal shading from trees or buildings. Our free survey will assess your roof's suitability and provide a detailed report with expected energy generation.

The physical installation of solar panels typically takes 1-2 days for most residential properties. The complete process from survey to activation usually takes 3-6 weeks, including planning permissions (if required), equipment ordering, installation, electrical work, and grid connection. Our MCS certified installers work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine, and we handle all paperwork and permissions on your behalf.

Solar panels require very little maintenance! They're designed to be self-cleaning with rain naturally washing away dirt and debris. We recommend a visual inspection annually and professional cleaning every 2-3 years if needed. Your inverter may need replacing after 10-15 years, but panels themselves are built to last 25+ years. All our systems come with comprehensive warranties and optional maintenance packages for complete peace of mind.

Yes! Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, though at reduced capacity. Modern solar technology can capture both direct and diffused sunlight. On overcast days, panels typically produce 10-25% of their maximum output. The UK actually has excellent solar potential - Germany, with similar weather, is one of the world's leading solar energy producers. Annual sunshine hours in the UK are more than sufficient for solar panels to be highly effective and cost-saving.

All our solar installations come with comprehensive warranties: 25-year performance warranty on panels (guaranteeing at least 80% efficiency after 25 years), 10-15 year warranty on inverters, 10-year workmanship guarantee on installation, and insurance-backed guarantees for added protection. We also offer extended warranty packages for complete peace of mind throughout your solar system's lifetime.

We work with multiple finance providers to offer options for various credit situations. While good credit helps secure the best rates, we can often arrange financing for customers with less-than-perfect credit histories. Each application is assessed individually, and our finance team will work to find the best solution for your circumstances. Alternative payment plans and guarantor options may be available.

Yes! Studies show that solar panels can increase property value by up to 4%. Homes with solar panels sell faster and often command premium prices as buyers recognize the benefit of reduced energy bills. Solar panels improve your home's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, which is increasingly important for property values. The investment in solar typically adds more value to your home than the installation cost.

Any excess energy your panels generate can be exported back to the National Grid through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme. You'll be paid for every kilowatt-hour exported, typically 4-15p per kWh depending on your tariff. This creates an additional income stream from your solar system. Alternatively, you can install a battery storage system to save excess energy for use during evening hours when panels aren't generating.
