Do I really need solar panel bird protection? Yes! Unfortunately, the area underneath solar panels is a very warm, inviting and safe space for birds to nest. This allows debris to build up underneath the panels and causes heat to build up. In turn, this reduces the efficiency of your solar panel system and the amount of electricity it can generate.Solar Bird Protection page to find out more.
Do solar panels work in winter? Yes, solar panels are effective and reliable all year round, even in winter. They generate power from sunlight, not temperature. Although shorter days do mean you generate less power, you’ll still notice a reduction in your energy bills, and installing a solar battery can make them even more efficient by capturing excess energy for use outside of daylight hours.
I’ve been told my house can’t have solar. You almost certainly can. Most larger companies, like the big energy suppliers or national installers, only want simple jobs. They often offer standard, inflexible designs using lower-quality equipment and will refuse the project if they can’t do it.
What is the solar installation process? We’ll start with an initial survey (either remote or on site) to understand your needs and provide a return on investment calculation, before we design your bespoke system.
What if my solar system goes wrong? Solar PV systems are incredibly safe and reliable, and when properly installed they need very little maintenance. Usually, a good clean and a basic service every couple of years is all that’s needed.
