Why Solar Panels Are the Smart Energy Choice
Solar panels offer unmatched benefits for homeowners looking to reduce energy costs, increase property value, and contribute to environmental sustainability while achieving energy independence.
Understanding Solar Panel Technology
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells, providing clean renewable energy for your home while reducing dependence on traditional grid electricity.
How It Works
Solar Energy Capture
Photovoltaic cells in solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity throughout daylight hours.
Power Conversion
An inverter converts DC electricity into alternating current (AC) that's compatible with your home's electrical system and appliances.
Home Power Supply
Clean solar electricity powers your home first, reducing grid consumption and lowering your monthly energy bills immediately.
Grid Export & Earnings
Excess electricity is exported to the grid via the Smart Export Guarantee, earning you money while supporting renewable energy.

Solar Panel Installation Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about going solar in Derbyshire
Solar panel costs vary based on system size and requirements. A typical 4kW domestic system ranges from £4,000-£6,000 including installation. We provide transparent, no-obligation quotes with detailed breakdowns of all costs, warranties, and projected savings to help you make an informed decision.
Most households save £800-£1,200 annually on electricity bills. Savings depend on energy usage, system size, and export earnings. With the Smart Export Guarantee, you also earn money for surplus electricity. Typical payback period is 7-12 years, then enjoy free electricity for 15+ years.
Yes, solar panels work effectively in the UK climate. They generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sunlight, so work even on cloudy days. Derbyshire receives excellent solar irradiation levels. Modern panels are designed for UK weather and maintain performance in rain, snow, and varying temperatures.
Most residential solar installations fall under permitted development rights and don't require planning permission. Exceptions include listed buildings, conservation areas, or systems exceeding size limits. We handle all necessary applications and ensure compliance with local planning requirements.
Solar panels typically last 25+ years with minimal performance degradation. We provide 20-25 year manufacturer warranties on panels, 10-15 years on inverters, and comprehensive installation warranties. Annual maintenance checks ensure optimal performance throughout the system lifetime.
Absolutely! Battery storage maximises your solar investment by storing excess energy for use during evenings and cloudy periods. We install various battery systems including Tesla Powerwall. Batteries can be added during installation or retrofitted to existing systems.
Excess electricity is automatically exported to the grid via the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), earning you payments from energy suppliers. Alternatively, battery storage systems can store surplus energy for later use, maximising self-consumption and further reducing grid dependence.
Yes, we're MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) certified installers. This government-backed certification ensures installations meet strict quality standards, qualify for incentives like SEG payments, and provides consumer protection. Only MCS installers can access government renewable energy schemes.
