Solar Panel FAQs for Alfreton Homeowners
Common questions about solar panel installation, performance, and benefits in the Derbyshire area
Yes, solar panels work very effectively in Alfreton and across Derbyshire. Modern panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sunlight, so they perform well even on cloudy days. Derbyshire receives sufficient solar irradiation for excellent energy generation, and cooler temperatures actually improve panel efficiency.
System size depends on your roof space, energy usage, and budget. Most Alfreton homes benefit from 3-4kW systems (12-16 panels), which typically generate 2,500-3,500kWh annually. During our free survey, we'll assess your property and energy needs to recommend the optimal system size.
Most solar installations in Alfreton fall under Permitted Development rights and don't require planning permission. However, listed buildings, conservation areas, or properties with specific restrictions may need approval. We handle all planning requirements and advise on any restrictions that may apply to your property.
Typical Alfreton homes can save £400-800 annually on electricity bills, depending on system size, energy usage patterns, and electricity prices. With rising energy costs, payback periods are typically 8-12 years, with panels continuing to generate savings for 25+ years.
Excess electricity is automatically exported to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme, earning you payments from energy suppliers. You can also install battery storage to store excess energy for use during evening hours, maximising your self-consumption and savings.
Solar panels are designed to last 25+ years with minimal maintenance. They come with performance warranties guaranteeing at least 80% efficiency after 25 years. Annual cleaning and periodic inspections are recommended, but panels are very reliable with no moving parts to wear out.
Yes, battery storage can be added to existing solar installations. However, it's often more cost-effective to install batteries alongside your solar panels initially. We can design your system to be battery-ready, making future upgrades straightforward and cost-effective.
Most roof types are suitable for solar panels, including pitched roofs with tiles, slate, or metal coverings. South, south-east, and south-west facing roofs are ideal, but east and west-facing roofs can also be effective. We'll assess your specific roof during our free survey to determine the best approach.
