Most common questions about solar panels and batteries
What’s the warranty?
- 25 year warranty on solar panels
- 10 year warranty on batteries
- 10 year warranty on inverters
- Lifetime support guarantee
How long does it take to install?
Start your solar journey today and receive a call back for a remote survey within three working days. Once the remote survey is completed, you can have your solar panel system fitted within as little as four weeks.
Do I need planning permission?
For most homes, no. However, there are a few exceptions. If you live in a listed building, conservation area or national park, you may need to check with your local planning office.
Does my solar panel system require any maintenance?
There’s no annual maintenance or service required. You may want to give your panels an occasional rinse with a hose to get rid of any dirt or dust. You may also need to keep an eye out on nearby trees to make sure they don’t shade your panels.
What's an inverter?
Solar panels create direct current (DC) energy, but we need alternating current (AC) energy for our household appliances. An inverter is used to change the energy from DC to AC. The inverter is usually installed in the loft, and is wall mounted.
