Answers before you go solar

Most roofs facing south, east, or west work well. During the free survey we check orientation, shading, structure, and wiring, and tell you plainly if the numbers don't add up.

Send us a recent energy bill and your address through the quote form. We prepare a first estimate from satellite imagery, then confirm it with a free on-site survey.

It depends on how much power you use and when. We size the system from your yearly consumption, roof space, and plans such as an electric car or heat pump.

Most rooftop systems on homes don't. Listed buildings, conservation areas, and some flat roofs can need approval, and we handle the application when they do.

A typical home system costs about the same as a small car, depending on size and whether you add a battery. Every quote shows a fixed price with no extras after the survey.

Most of our home systems pay back in seven to ten years, then keep producing for another fifteen or more. Your quote shows the expected payback for your roof.

Yes. Every quote shows a cash price and a monthly option, and in many cases the monthly payment is lower than the savings on your bill.

Incentives change often and vary by region. We check which schemes you qualify for, such as reduced tax rates or export payments, and include them in your proposal.

Buyers increasingly look for lower running costs. A well-installed system with its paperwork and warranties in order usually makes a home more attractive to sell.

About six weeks from survey to switch-on. The installation itself takes one or two days for most homes, with the power off for a few hours.

Only at the start and the end of the install, so we can confirm the layout and show you the monitoring app. The crew needs access to the loft and the fuse board.

No. We use mounting systems approved for your roof type and seal every fixing. If a tile breaks during the work, we replace it before we leave.

Our electricians complete the connection and submit the grid notification for you, so you don't have to deal with the network operator.

Not always. A battery pays off when you use most of your power in the evening, face peak tariffs, or want backup during outages. We model both options in your quote.

Yes. We fit inverters that accept a battery, so adding one later is a half-day job without changing your panels.

Only if the system is set up for backup. We can add a backup switch that keeps chosen circuits, such as the fridge and lights, running during an outage.

Yes. A smart charger can send surplus solar power straight to your car during the day and switch to cheap night rates when the sun is down.

Very little. We recommend an inspection every two years. The monitoring app alerts us to faults so we can fix them before they cost you output.

Panels keep producing for thirty years or more, slowly losing a little output each year. Inverters usually last ten to fifteen years and are simple to replace.

Panels carry a 25-year performance warranty, inverters and batteries ten years, and our workmanship ten years. All of it is listed in your handover pack.

Panels still produce on cloudy days, just less. Your system stays connected to the grid, so you never run short. Yearly output already accounts for typical weather.

Rain keeps most panels clean. If yours sit at a low angle or near dust and trees, we offer a cleaning visit with soft brushes and purified water.
