Find answers to common questions about solar panels, battery storage, installation, and finance.
Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sunlight. The electricity produced is used in your home first, with any excess either exported to the grid or stored in a battery.
Solar panels contain photovoltaic cells that convert light energy into electrical energy. An inverter then converts this DC electricity into AC electricity that can be used in your home.
Yes. Solar panels still generate electricity in cloudy conditions, although output will be lower than on bright, sunny days.
UK homes can still generate significant electricity throughout the year, even with our variable weather. Modern solar panels are designed to perform well in diffuse light conditions.
Battery storage allows you to store unused solar energy and use it later when your panels are not generating. While not essential, batteries significantly increase the amount of solar energy you can use in your home.
Without a battery, excess solar energy is typically exported to the grid. With a battery, you can store this energy for evening use, maximising your savings and energy independence.
In many cases, yes. We can assess your current system and advise whether a Duracell battery storage system can be added.
Contact us for a compatibility assessment. We'll review your existing installation and recommend the best battery solution for your system.
Most residential solar and battery installations are completed within one to two days, depending on system size and property type.
The process includes mounting panels, installing the inverter and battery (if included), connecting to your electrical system, and testing everything thoroughly.
Yes. We are fully MCS certified and RECC approved, meaning all installations meet industry standards and come with consumer protection.
MCS certification is essential for accessing government schemes and ensures your installation is carried out to strict quality and safety standards.
Yes. We offer finance options to help spread the cost of your solar and battery installation. Our team will explain the available options clearly during your consultation.
Finance allows you to start saving on energy bills without a large upfront payment. All terms are transparent with no hidden costs. Finance is subject to status and affordability checks.
Many homeowners find that solar panels make their property more attractive to buyers due to lower running costs and improved energy efficiency.
Properties with solar systems often benefit from lower energy bills and enhanced environmental credentials, which can be appealing to potential buyers.
You can contact us by phone or email to arrange a free, no-obligation home assessment and quotation.
We'll visit your property to assess your roof, discuss your energy needs, and design a system tailored to your requirements. You'll then receive a clear, detailed quote with no pressure to proceed.
Savings vary depending on your system size, energy usage, and how much solar energy you can use directly or store in a battery.
During your free assessment, we'll provide realistic savings estimates based on your specific circumstances. Many homeowners see significant reductions in their electricity bills.
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. They're designed to be durable and self-cleaning in most cases (rain typically washes away dirt and debris).
We recommend occasional visual inspections and cleaning if necessary. Our systems come with monitoring so you can track performance and identify any issues early.
Solar panels typically come with 25-year performance warranties and 10-15 year product warranties. Duracell batteries and inverters include comprehensive long-term warranties.
We provide full warranty documentation and support throughout the warranty period. All installations are backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Most UK homes are suitable for solar panels, even with east- or west-facing roofs. During your free survey, we'll assess your roof's suitability, including:
We partner with Duracell because they're a globally recognised brand known for reliability, quality, and performance. Duracell battery systems offer:
