Frequently asked questions

Solar PV, or photovoltaic, is a technology that converts sunlight into electricity. It involves the use of solar panels that absorb photons from the sun and convert them into direct current (DC) electricity.

Battery storage is a technology that allows energy to be stored for later use. It involves the use of rechargeable batteries that store excess energy generated by solar PV systems, allowing homeowners and businesses to reduce their reliance on the grid and save money on their energy bills.

 When used together, solar PV panels generate energy during the day and excess energy is stored in a battery storage system for later use. This allows homeowners and businesses to maximize the benefits of their solar PV system, reduce their reliance on the grid, and save money on their energy bills.

Solar PV panels can last for up to 25 years or more, while battery storage systems typically last for 10 to 15 years. The lifespan of these systems can depend on factors such as quality, maintenance, and usage.

 The amount of money you can save with solar PV and battery storage depends on factors such as your energy usage, the size of your system, and the cost of energy in your area. However, customers can typically expect to save a significant amount of money on their energy bills over the lifespan of their system.

If there’s a power outage, a battery storage system can provide backup power to critical systems and appliances. This can be especially important for homeowners and businesses that rely on electricity for medical equipment, refrigeration, or other important functions.

Solar PV and battery storage can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a more sustainable energy future. By using renewable energy sources, customers can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner, greener environment.

Yes, solar PV and battery storage can be installed on most homes and businesses, although it’s important to ensure that your property is suitable for installation. A qualified installer can assess your property and provide recommendations on the best system for your needs.

In most cases, planning permission is not required for solar PV and battery storage installations on residential properties. However, there may be some restrictions on the size and location of the system, so it’s important to check with your local planning authority. For commercial properties, planning permission may be required.

The cost of a solar PV and battery storage system depends on a variety of factors, including the size of the system, the quality of the components, and the complexity of the installation. However, the cost has decreased significantly in recent years, making it a more affordable option for homeowners and businesses.

Solar PV and battery storage systems require minimal maintenance, with most systems only requiring an annual check-up to ensure that everything is working properly. Battery storage systems may need to be replaced after 10 to 15 years, depending on usage.

In some areas, homeowners and businesses can sell excess energy generated by their solar PV system back to the grid, a process known as net metering or feed-in tariffs. This can provide additional savings on energy bills and help to offset the cost of the system.

Yes, there may be incentives or rebates available from local councils, depending on your location. These incentives can help to reduce the cost of the system and provide additional savings on energy bills. It’s important to research available incentives before investing in a solar PV and battery storage system.

Yes all systems we sell come with access to a monitoring portal where you can see current and past production. We set the app up for you and give you a full run through of its features.
