Solar For Homes

Solar PV panels are made from several layers of semi-conducting materials, including silicon, which conduct electricity when exposed to light. PV cells do not need direct sunlight to produce energy and can still function on cloudy days. But power production does increases in line with solar intensity. Each solar panel is capable of producing about 400W of energy during intense sunlight.

Once you’ve invested in the initial installation, there’s not much more expenditure and you’ll be able to benefit from free electricity for the lifespan of your PV panels, which is typically a minimum of around 20 years. With energy costs continuing to rise, imagine how much you could save during that time.

Each system is different and the savings depend on where you live, which way your panels face and many other variables.

For a 4kW system, which can produce 3566kwh of power per annum, the estimated payback time is 3 years and 7 months – which equates to an estimated saving of £68,000 on utility bills over a 20-year period.

Solar panels work best when they are fitted to a pitched roof. Conveniently, the majority of UK homes feature a pitch between 30 and 50 degrees. But even if you have a flat roof or one with a lesser angle, we can add an angled pitch docking station with your installation to optimise the amount of power you can generate.

To ensure your solar panels can perform at an optimum level, it is a good idea to keep them clean and inspect them on an annual basis. You should also monitor their performance from time to time, which is easy to do via a smartphone, so you know they are functioning properly. Realistically, they may not require any maintenance at all.

After gaining over 20 years’ industry experience, we are one of the most-established solar panel installers in Hull.

Our expert engineers frequently travel to work at homes in various locations throughout East Yorkshire & the Humber region. We can also have the ability to quote and carry out large commercial solar panel installations anywhere in the UK.
