Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Installers

Have questions about going solar? Find answers to common inquiries about solar panel installation and connecting with reputable Solar Installers in UK.

What are the different types of solar inverters?

Solar inverters come in several types:
  • String Inverters: Connect multiple panels in a series (a 'string'). A cost-effective option for simple systems, but a single panel issue can affect the entire string.
  • Microinverters: Attach to each individual solar panel, maximizing energy production even if some panels are shaded. They are more expensive but offer greater efficiency and monitoring capabilities.
  • Power Optimizers: Similar to microinverters, but less expensive. They optimize the output of each panel and provide individual panel monitoring, but a central inverter is still required.
  • Hybrid Inverters: Combine a solar inverter with a battery charge controller, allowing for seamless integration of battery storage.
The best type of inverter for your system will depend on factors like your budget, roof layout, and energy needs.

What is the lifespan of solar panels?

Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25-30 years or more. Even after 25 years, panels will still produce electricity, but their efficiency may gradually decline over time. Reputable manufacturers offer warranties that cover defects in materials and workmanship for a significant portion of the panel's lifespan.

What is net metering, and how does it work?

Net metering is a billing mechanism that allows homeowners and businesses with solar panels to sell excess electricity generated by their system back to the utility grid. When your solar panels produce more electricity than you consume, the excess is sent to the grid, and your electric meter runs backward. You receive credits for this excess energy, which can offset your electricity bill. Net metering policies vary by location, but they generally make going solar more financially attractive by allowing you to earn credits for the electricity your system generates.

How much can I save on my electricity bill with solar panels?

The amount you can save on your electricity bill with solar panels depends on factors such as:
  • Your current energy usage
  • The size of your solar system
  • Your local electricity rates
  • The amount of sunlight your panels receive
  • Available net metering policies
A qualified solar installer can assess your energy needs and provide an estimated savings calculation based on your individual circumstances.
