Solar energy is the power obtained by harnessing the energy of the sun’s rays. It is converted into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells in solar panels or solar power plants.
Solar panels are composed of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. This DC electricity is then converted into alternating current (AC) electricity using an inverter, making it usable for homes and businesses.
The installation process typically takes 1-3 days for residential systems, depending on the size and complexity of the system. However, the entire process from signing the contract to system activation can take 4-8 weeks, including permitting and inspections.
If your roof is in good condition and has a lifespan of at least 10-15 more years, it should be fine for solar panel installation. If your roof needs replacement soon, it is advisable to replace it before installing solar panels.
When properly installed, solar panels do not damage your roof. Professional installers use mounting systems designed to secure the panels without causing harm to the roofing materials.
The cost of a solar panel system varies based on size, type of panels, and location. On average, residential systems cost between £6,000 and £12,000 before incentives
The payback period for a solar panel system typically ranges from 5 to 10 years, depending on the cost of the system and energy back rates.
The amount of energy produced depends on the system size, location, orientation, and amount of sunlight received. On average, a 5 kW system can produce around 6,000-8,000 kWh per year.
Yes, solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, though their efficiency is reduced. They can produce 10-25% of their typical output under cloudy conditions.
Standard grid-tied solar systems do not work during a blackout for safety reasons. However, systems with battery storage or hybrid systems can provide power during outages.
Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25-30 years. Most manufacturers offer warranties guaranteeing their panels will produce at a certain efficiency level for 20-25 years.
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove dust, dirt, and debris can help maintain efficiency. Annual inspections by a professional are recommended to ensure optimal performance.
Solar panels reduce greenhouse gas emissions by generating electricity without burning fossil fuels. They help decrease reliance on non-renewable energy sources, reducing pollution and mitigating climate change.
Solar panels can be recycled. Many components, such as glass, aluminium, and certain metals, can be recovered and reused. Proper recycling programs ensure that panels are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
Yes, many energy providers will buy up to 96 of your excess generated energy offer net metering programs, allowing you to sell excess electricity generated by your solar panels back to the grid. This can result in credits on your utility bill or even payments from your utility company.
Yes, studies have shown that homes with solar panel systems often have higher property values and sell faster than homes without them. Buyers are attracted to the prospect of lower energy bills and sustainable living.
