The Only Surrey Solar Installer With Certified Engineers Who GUARANTEE Your Payback Period

Solar PV (photovoltaic) panels convert sunlight into electricity using semiconductor materials. This electricity can be used in your home, stored in a battery, or exported back to the grid.

Yes. Solar panels don’t need direct sunlight to work; they generate electricity even on cloudy days. While output is higher in summer, solar is effective year‑round.

In most cases, no. Solar PV systems are considered “permitted development.” Exceptions may apply if you live in a listed building, conservation area, or have specific local restrictions.

Most panels come with a 25‑year performance warranty. They can continue generating electricity well beyond that, typically 30+ years.

Solar PV systems require very little maintenance. An occasional clean (especially if you live in a dusty or coastal area) and periodic professional checks are recommended.

The cost depends on system size, battery options, and roof type. A typical residential system ranges between £5,000–£12,000, while larger systems cost more.

Savings depend on your energy use, roof orientation, and whether you add a battery. Many households save 50–80% on electricity bills.

Yes. Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) in the UK, you are paid for exporting unused electricity to the grid. Rates vary by supplier.

The typical payback period is 6–10 years, depending on your energy usage, local export tariffs, and whether a battery system is included. Every system we install comes with a custom payback period guarantee. Based on your tailored quote, we’ll stipulate how many years it will take for your solar savings to cover your investment—and we stand by that timeline. If your solar system hasn’t reached its guaranteed payback period, we’ll credit you the difference in savings based on your quote’s projections—so you never lose out on the return you were promised.

A battery isn’t essential, but it increases self‑consumption by storing excess daytime electricity for evening use. It maximises savings and provides backup power (with the right setup).

Modern lithium batteries typically last 10–15 years, with warranties ranging from 5–12 years depending on manufacturer.

Yes. Most solar PV systems can be retrofitted with a battery at a later stage.

Yes—if installed with a backup or gateway unit. Standard systems without this feature will shut down during an outage for safety reasons.

It depends on your energy usage. A typical home uses 6–12 kWh per day, so a 5–10 kWh battery is common. We’ll size the system to suit your needs.

Most residential solar PV systems take 1–3 days to install. Adding a battery may add another day.

Our team will fit the panels, connect the inverter and battery (if applicable), and set up monitoring. We’ll also handle any scaffolding and paperwork.

No. Panels are mounted on roof rails designed to protect your roof. Installations are carried out to MCS and building regulation standards.

Yes. Special mounting systems allow panels to be installed at the optimal angle.

A typical 4 kW system requires around 20 m² of roof space. Larger systems need more space.

Shading reduces performance. However, optimisers and micro‑inverters can minimise shading impact.

A standard inverter converts DC from panels into AC for your home. A hybrid inverter also manages charging/discharging of a battery.

Yes. Homes with solar panels are often more attractive to buyers due to lower energy costs and sustainability benefits.

Yes. Around 95 % of a panel’s materials can be recycled, including glass, aluminium, and silicon.

A typical residential system can reduce carbon emissions by 1–2 tonnes per year.

We only install panels that have a 25‑year performance warranty and a 25‑year product warranty. We install Givenergy batteries and inverters because they are high quality and come with a 12‑year warranty.

Yes. We provide system monitoring, maintenance options, and after‑care support to ensure your system performs at its best.
