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.

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.

How do I choose the right solar panel system size for my needs?

Choosing the right solar panel system size depends on your energy consumption, budget, and available roof space. A qualified solar installer will:
  • Analyze your energy bills
  • Assess your roof's suitability
  • Calculate your potential solar energy generation
  • Recommend a system size that meets your needs and goals.
They will also consider factors like future energy needs (e.g., if you plan to purchase an electric vehicle) and the potential for battery storage.

What is the difference between grid-tied and off-grid solar systems?

Grid-tied solar systems are connected to the utility grid, allowing you to:
  • Draw electricity from the grid when your solar panels aren't producing enough power (e.g., at night)
  • Sell excess solar electricity back to the grid through net metering.
Off-grid solar systems are not connected to the grid and rely solely on solar panels and battery storage for electricity. They provide energy independence but require a larger upfront investment for batteries and a larger solar array.

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.
