Solar panels with Plug me in

The science in brief: solar panels work by allowing photons, or particles of light, to knock electrons free from atoms, generating a flow of electricity. The PV panels actually comprise many, smaller units called photovoltaic cells which are made from either thin layers of silicon or other semiconducting material. These cells don’t need direct sunlight to work, they will still generate some electricity on a cloudy day, however the stronger the sunlight the more energy produced.

FAQs

Q. Is my home suitable for solar panels?

A. Over a million properties in the UK already have Solar Panels fitted, so the likelihood is pretty high.

The ideal home is one with a south facing roof, space for more than 8 panels and good access for our teams to perform the install. If your home doesn’t fit these criteria, don’t worry, we can probably still help.

The best way to find out is to get in touch with one of our friendly team. They will assess factors such as roof space, orientation, shading, and local regulations to ensure your property is ideal for solar installation. This process not only makes sure your building is ready for solar but also guarantees that you will get the most efficient and sustainable solution tailored to your home.

Q. How will I benefit from solar panels at home?

A. Having the independence of generating your own energy can be both good for the planet and be a great investment. Solar not only helps produce smart, carbon-free energy directly from sunlight, but it can also take a sizable chunk out of your energy bills. And what’s more, the energy that you don’t use, you can actually sell back to the grid.

Plus, when paired with a home battery, you could save even more and cut your energy bills by up to 90%. With solar panels lasting 25 years or more, you could benefit from long term energy saving. If you’re in for solar and want to know how much energy your home can produce and how much money it might save, get in touch today.

Q. Do solar panels work in winter or on cloudy days?

A. Yes, solar panels do work in the winter and during cloudy spells. Although their efficiency may be reduced when compared to sunny periods, modern solar panels are designed to capture sunlight even in overcast conditions, which is pretty amazing. This ensures reliable energy production throughout the year for both homes and businesses.

Also in prime, sunny conditions, any excess energy not immediately used or stored in a battery is typically fed back into the grid.

By investing in solar panels and battery storage, you’ll get a reliable, smart and efficient energy solution for your property, regardless of the weather conditions.

Q. Is my home suitable for a home battery?

A. The majority of homes in the UK are suitable for a home battery, all that is needed is an appropriate space to fit it. Battery systems are typically installed in common areas like garages, gardens, or under the stairs, where they can be easily accessed and maintained.

A battery’s primary use is to store smart, carbon-free energy produced by solar panels, which can then be used at times when the panels are not generating power. However, many homes in the UK, without solar, have also installed a battery to charge at night and take advantage of cheaper energy tariffs, making substantial savings on energy bills. If that’s not a game-changer, we don't know what is.
