Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching to solar.
Typical homeowners in Hertfordshire save between £800 and £1,200 annually with a standard 4kW system, depending on usage and roof orientation. Adding battery storage can increase savings by up to 80%.
Read full answerMost residential solar installations in Hertfordshire pay for themselves in 6-10 years. With rising energy prices and the 0% VAT on installations, many customers are seeing even faster returns. Over the 25+ year lifespan, you can expect returns of £15,000-£25,000.
Read full answerYes! Solar panels work on daylight, not heat. While winter production is lower (about 30% of annual output), UK solar panels generate year-round. Modern panels are optimized for low-light conditions and overcast days, making them highly effective in British weather.
Read full answerIn most cases, solar panels are 'Permitted Development' even in Conservation Areas, provided they are not street-facing or on a listed building. However, St Albans has specific Article 4 directions in some zones. We handle all these checks for you.
Read full answerWe provide comprehensive coverage: 30-year panel performance warranty, 10-12 year battery warranty, 10-year inverter warranty, and 2-year workmanship guarantee. All our installations are MCS certified and insurance-backed for complete peace of mind.
Read full answerMost residential installations are completed in 1-2 days. The full process from survey to switch-on typically takes 4-8 weeks, including DNO approval. We handle all paperwork, approvals, and coordination so you don't have to.
Read full answerSolar panels are virtually maintenance-free. The UK's rain naturally cleans them, and there are no moving parts to service. We recommend a visual inspection annually and professional cleaning every 2-3 years to maintain optimal performance. All systems include remote monitoring.
Read full answerYes! Battery storage can be retrofitted to any existing solar system using AC-coupled batteries like GivEnergy or Tesla Powerwall. Many customers start with panels and add batteries later. We design systems to be battery-ready from day one.
