FAQs
Thinking about making the switch to solar? You’re not alone! Here are some of the most common questions we get a asked about solar panels and battery storage.
How much will solar panels save me on my energy bills?
Solar panels can significantly reduce your electricity bills, with savings depending on your energy use, system size, and whether you have battery storage. Many homeowners see a reduction of 50% or more.
Do solar panels work in the UK’s cloudy weather?
Yes! Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sunlight. Even on cloudy days, they can still produce a good amount of energy.
How long do solar panels last?
Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25–30 years, with many continuing to generate power beyond that. They also come with long warranties, often around 20–25 years.
Can I store excess energy for later use?
Yes, with a battery storage system, you can store surplus energy generated during the day and use it at night or during peak times, reducing reliance on the grid.
Will I still be connected to the National Grid?
Yes, unless you go fully off-grid. Being connected allows you to sell excess energy back to the grid and ensures you have power when your panels aren’t generating enough.
