What is Solar PV?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels convert sunlight into electricity you can use at home. That electricity powers your appliances, lights, and heating systems. When your panels produce more than you use, it can be stored in a battery or sold back to the grid.

Solar works even in cloudy weather. You do not need direct sunlight – just daylight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do solar panels work in the UK?

Yes. The UK receives sufficient sunlight for effective solar generation. Even in winter, panels can produce meaningful output.

Do I need planning permission?

Not usually. Most homes fall under permitted development. We will confirm this during your site survey.

What happens if I generate more energy than I use?

You can store it in a battery or export it to the grid for a small payment under the Smart Export Guarantee. Not all providers offer this option, so be mindful when choosing.

What is the lifespan of the system?

According to the Energy Saving Trust solar panels typically last 25+ years. Inverters may require replacement at around 10–15 years.

After the previous company went bust, these guys were appointed through HIES and they couldn’t have been more helpful and cost me no extra money. The team who did the installation were brilliant. Always checking stuff with me, tidied everything up and talked me through everything. Highly recommend

I get the feeling I am dealing with a company and its staff that really care and will go the extra mile to ensure their customer is happy.

The engineers turned up on time, explained what they needed to do, work efficiently throughout the two days it took to complete the work. Very polite, clean and tidy job. Thank you.

I highly recommend. The installers came and installed a large array of solar panels and battery system in my home. Quick and tidy install, no fuss and answered any questions I had. I was given a quote and could see what to expect savings wise. Once installed the team explained how the system works, got my app up and running and helped me find the best ways to save money with my new system. Thank you!

Superb from start to finish. Cannot recommended highly enough for a customer that is hard to please 😃 Moved things around the schedule to accommodate which was fantastic. Guys on the ground were very knowledgable & a professional, neat and tidy job carried out. Very minimal disruption.
