FAQs
Answers to our most frequent questions
How does a solar PV system work?
Solar PV systems utilise photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into electricity. The PV cell consists of one or two layers of semiconducting material - often silicone. When the light shines on the cell, it creates an electric field across the layers, causing electricity to flow. The greater the intensity of the light, the greater the flow of electricity.
Is my home suitable for solar panel installation?
Whether your roof faces south, east or west, your home is perfect to have solar photovoltaic panels installed. North-facing roofs will not receive as much sunlight and therefore won't be as efficient. The pitch of your roof should be between 20°- 50°.
Do I need to get planning permission to get solar panels installed?
Having solar panels installed to your home is classified as a "permitted development". You only require planning permission if you live in a listed building or in a conservation area.
How much maintenance do the solar panels require?
Once installed, solar panels require very little maintenance. Unlike other technologies, solar PV has no moving parts, so there is nothing to wear out or need lubricating. Solar panels are warranted to work for 25 years and may last even longer than that.Solar panels have a surface coating on them to help water and dust run away, and they are considered self-cleaning if pitched at greater than 10 degrees.
HOW LONG DO SOLAR PANELS TAKE TO INSTALL?
This will depend on the size of the installation. Typically, an installation will take 1 day to complete, though more complex systems may take longer. This excludes the installation of scaffolding which will typically take 1 day to erect in advance and half a day to remove for a residential installation.
WHAT IS AN INVERTER?
The inverter is the brains of the system. It converts the DC electricity produced by the solar panels into AC electricity for use within the building. It also matches the phase of the AC electricity produced to the phase of the grid, ensuring complete compatibility and the ability to export excess back to the wider electricity network.
