How will solar panels benefit me?

1. Renewable Energy Source: Solar panels utilise sunlight, a virtually endless and renewable resource, to generate electricity. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and contribute to environmental pollution, solar energy offers a sustainable solution for meeting our energy needs.


2. Cost Savings: Installing solar panels can lead to significant long-term cost savings on electricity bills. Once the initial investment is made, solar energy production is essentially free, reducing reliance on traditional utility providers and offering protection against rising energy prices.


3. Environmental Impact: Solar panels produce clean energy with zero greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants. By opting for solar power, individuals and communities can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to mitigating climate change, preserving ecosystems, and safeguarding public health.

BATTERY STORAGE

You aren't required to install a battery for your solar panels to function, but having one can optimise the utilisation of the energy generated by your panels.


Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours, allowing you to use this solar energy instead of purchasing it from your utility provider.


However, they are inactive at night, when energy consumption is typically highest. In such instances, without a battery, you'll revert to drawing electricity from the national grid, incurring costs. With a battery, any surplus energy stored during the day can be utilized during nighttime hours, diminishing your dependence on the grid for power.

Our FAQ's


What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Solar Energy?


Advantages:


Renewable: Solar energy is an abundant and renewable resource, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.

Clean: Solar power generation produces no greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants, contributing to a cleaner environment and mitigating climate change.

Cost Savings: Once installed, solar panels can lead to significant long-term savings on electricity bills, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources and providing energy independence.



Disadvantages:


Intermittent: Solar power generation is dependent on sunlight, making it intermittent and variable, with energy production decreasing during cloudy days and at night.

Initial Cost: The upfront cost of purchasing and installing solar panel systems can be high, although it's often offset by long-term savings on energy bills and various financial incentives.

Space Requirements: Large-scale solar installations may require significant land or roof space, limiting deployment options in densely populated areas or areas with limited space availability.



Is it worth getting battery storage with solar panels?


Adding a solar battery to your solar setup is an extra expense, but it enables you to utilize more of the energy produced by your solar panels by storing solar power for nighttime usage. Despite the initial investment, a solar battery proves to be a worthwhile long-term investment.


How many solar batteries are needed to power a house?



When selecting a solar system, it's essential to consider that the typical household requires 6 to 8 batteries for operation, so incorporate this into your planning and calculations.



How long does it take to install a solar panel?


Typically, the installation process lasts only one to three days and is carried out by a proficient team of in-house installers.



Does my solar panel system require any maintenance?


No yearly maintenance or servicing is needed. Periodically rinsing your panels with a hose can remove dirt or dust accumulation. Additionally, monitoring nearby trees to prevent shading of the panels may be necessary.


Do I need planning permission?


For the majority of homes, no. However, there are some exceptions. If your property is listed, located within a conservation area, or situated in a national park, it's advisable to consult your local planning office for clarification.
