FAQ – Solar for Power

I am interested in Solar Power – what should I do?

•  Contact us to arrange an obligation free site Inspection and Quote – at this stage we will ensure your home is suitable for solar power, discuss your needs and design the appropriate system for you. We will complete all the necessary paperwork to enable your system to be connected to the grid.

 How much power will I get from my system?

• If your home has a north facing roof and is unshaded then you can expect to get 5kWh on average per day from a 1kW system, 10kWh on average per day from a 2kW system and so on.

How much roof space do I need?

• Each 1kW of panels requires 8m2 of roof space.

What happens if there is a power failure?

• For safety reasons all Grid Connect systems are shut down in the event of a power failure.

 Will my system produce power on overcast or rainy days?

• Yes but the power output will be reduced

 Do I need to maintain the system?

• Solar power systems work silently, efficiently and require little maintenance. Keeping the panels clean of dust and dirt will maximise your power output.

What about hailstorms?

• All of our solar panels are made using toughened glass that can withstand most hail storms. In the unlikely event of damage your household insurance should cover replacement costs, please check with your insurer for coverage.
