Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Installers

What is the average cost of solar panel installation in UK?

Solar installation costs in UK vary depending on factors like:

• System size (measured in kilowatts, or kW)
• Type of solar panels (monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin-film)
• Roof complexity (pitch, size, obstructions)
• Labor costs in your area
• Available incentives and rebates

The best way to get an accurate cost estimate is to get quotes from multiple solar installers through SolarCompaniesHub.

How do I know if my roof is suitable for solar panels?

A suitable roof for solar panels should have:

• Adequate Sunlight: Unobstructed sunlight for a significant portion of the day.
• Sufficient Space: Enough space to accommodate the desired number of panels.
• Structural Integrity: A strong roof structure capable of supporting the weight of the panels.
• Appropriate Orientation and Tilt: Ideally, the roof should face south (in the Northern Hemisphere) or north (in the Southern Hemisphere) with a tilt angle close to the latitude of your location. However, other orientations and tilts can still be effective.

A qualified solar installer can assess your roof during a site visit and determine its suitability for solar.

Do solar panels increase my home value?

Studies have shown that solar panels can increase the value of your home. Homes with solar panels tend to sell faster and for a higher price than comparable homes without solar. This is because buyers are increasingly recognizing the value of lower energy bills and the environmental benefits of solar energy.

How do solar panels work?

Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells made of silicon. When sunlight hits a solar cell, it creates an electric current. Multiple cells are wired together to form a panel, and multiple panels can be combined to create a solar array.
