FAQs

A: Not at all! Solar panels operate using daylight, not just direct sunlight. While stronger light increases energy yield, photovoltaic cells can generate electricity from any level of daylight.

A: The installation time depends on the size of your solar array, but most domestic installations are completed within hours. However, it’s best to allow a few days for the entire process. First, scaffolding is set up, which takes a morning or afternoon for a two-story home. The panels are typically installed the following day, and on the final day, the scaffolding is removed.

A: For decades! And that’s no exaggeration. Solar cells degrade at just 0.5% per year, meaning that even after 30 years, they still operate at around 86% efficiency. While manufacturers often consider this the threshold for peak performance, panels can continue generating electricity for many more years. Most come with a 25-year performance warranty, with some extending up to 30 years.

A: The cost of solar panels can vary significantly, but like many home investments, quality, efficiency, and performance often reflect the price. Finding the right balance between power output and roof coverage is usually the most cost-effective approach.

So, how much do solar panels cost? It depends on the materials used and the power output rating. Panels made with higher-quality or more advanced materials, or those with greater capacity, tend to be more expensive but offer better long-term performance. While cheaper panels may seem like a bargain, they might not deliver the efficiency or durability you expect.

A: In most cases, yes. We’ll conduct a free survey to assess your roof suitability, sun exposure, and energy consumption to ensure solar panels are a good fit for your home.

A: The amount you save depends on the size of your system, your energy consumption, and your local electricity prices. However, solar panels can significantly reduce your electricity bills and even eliminate them entirely in some cases.

A: We offer industry-leading warranties on both the solar panels themselves and the installation work.

A: A-rated gas boilers are much more energy efficient than older models, which can significantly reduce your heating bills and your carbon footprint.

A: We may offer financing options for new boiler installations and you can apply online in minutes. Please contact us for details.

A: Boiler installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the complexity of the system.
