Most domestic Solar Panel installations take no more than a day with minimum disruption. Typically, the scaffolding will be erected a couple of days before the Solar PV installation team arrive. We will then mount the panels on the roof and install the inverter, batteries and EV charger if ordered. Finally carrying out the internal wiring.
Solar PV panels alone will not give you electricity 24 hours a day as they only produce electricity in daylight hours. You would need a battery system as well as Solar PV panels to be able to come off-grid.
A typical residential solar panel system costs between £4,000 and £10,000 before tax credits or incentives. Costs vary based on system size, panel type, and additional components like batteries.
Solar panels are nearly maintenance-free, typically requiring only occasional cleaning and periodic inspections to ensure optimal performance. They are designed to last 25-30 years with minimal upkeep.
All our batteries are fully IP rated for both internal and external installations. Your installation engineer will discuss your preferred location with you ahead of the works. If you have any specific requests, please contact the office ahead of ordering. Please note that new guidelines recommend not installing batteries in main loft spaces.
Home batteries fall under permitted development rights, so planning consent is not required for installation. However, if your property is located in a conservation area, is listed, or is of historical interest, you will need to seek approval from the relevant authorities before placing an order.
A typical battery installation takes one working day. However, more complex installations may take slightly longer.
Several energy providers offer ‘off-peak’ tariffs for cheaper night time charging. We recommend exploring your tariff options before making a purchase. All Solar takes no responsibility for the tariffs you may or may not be able to obtain.
All the batteries we install come with a minimum 10-year warranty. Some models offer extended warranty coverage. For details on individual product warranties, please refer to the product information.
