WHAT IS SOLAR PV AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Solar PV, or photovoltaic, is a technology that converts sunlight into electricity. Solar panels contain cells that capture photons from sunlight, creating an electric field that generates direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, which can power your home.

That's why we offer a comprehensive feasibility study at no cost to determine whether solar PV is the right choice for your home or business. Our experts will assess your site, analyse your energy consumption patterns, and provide you with a detailed quotation tailored to your specific needs and goals. We believe in transparency and ensuring that our customers have all the information they need to make the best decision.
ARE THERE ANY GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES OR GRANTS FOR INSTALLING SOLAR PANELS?
Please contact us to discuss the incentives and grants that may be available to homeowners and business owners.
WHAT IS THE PAYBACK TIMESCALE FOR A SOLAR PV INSTALLATION?
The payback timescale for a solar PV installation depends on various factors such as system size, energy consumption, electricity rates, available incentives or grants, and financing options and the timeframe can vary significantly based on specific circumstances.
It's important to note that after the payback period, you can continue to benefit from significant savings on electricity bills. The long lifespan of solar PV systems (25 to 30 years or more) ensures prolonged financial returns. Our team of experts will work closely with you to assess your unique requirements and provide a customised analysis of the payback timescale.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO INSTALL A SOLAR PV SYSTEM?
The installation timeline for a solar PV system depends on various factors such as system size, complexity and even weather conditions.
HOW MUCH MAINTENANCE DO SOLAR PANELS REQUIRE?
Solar panels generally require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of dirt, debris, or snow accumulation can help optimise their performance. Additionally, scheduling periodic inspections can ensure the system is functioning at its best.
CAN SOLAR PANELS WORK DURING CLOUDY OR RAINY DAYS?
While solar panels produce the most electricity under direct sunlight, they can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days. Although the output may be lower, solar panels can still convert sunlight into electricity, allowing you to continue making use of solar energy even on cloudy and rainy days.
WILL A SOLAR PV SYSTEM REDUCE MY ELECTRICITY BILLS?
Installing a solar PV system can significantly reduce your electricity bills. By generating your own clean electricity, you can rely less on power from the grid. The amount of savings depends on various factors like your energy consumption, the size of the system, and electricity rates.
CAN I SELL EXCESS ELECTRICITY GENERATED BY MY SOLAR PANELS BACK TO THE GRID?
Yes, if you generate renewable electricity in your home or business, you can feed back into the grid any electricity that you don't use. Under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG ) you will be paid for every unit of electricity that you feed back. You won't be paid for any that you use yourself.
HOW MUCH SPACE DO I NEED TO INSTALL SOLAR PANELS ON MY ROOF?
The space required for installing solar panels depends on the size and capacity of the system you choose, and it can vary based on factors such as panel efficiency, tilt angle and shading.
WHY SHOULD MY BUSINESS CONSIDER INSTALLING A SOLAR PV SYSTEM?
Installing a solar PV system for your business offers several benefits. It can help you reduce your electricity costs, improve your environmental sustainability, demonstrate your commitment to renewable energy, and potentially generate a new revenue stream by selling excess electricity back to the grid.
HOW MUCH CAN MY BUSINESS SAVE ON ELECTRICITY BILLS BY INSTALLING A SOLAR PV SYSTEM?
The savings your business can achieve with a solar PV system depend on various factors like your energy consumption, system size, electricity rates, and available incentives and grants.
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT SOLAR PV SYSTEM SIZE FOR MY HOME OR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY?
Choosing the right solar PV system size depends on your energy consumption, available roof space, and financial goals. We offer a complimentary feasibility study to determine whether solar PV is the right choice for you. Our experts will assess your location, energy needs, and other relevant factors to provide you with accurate information.
